'We cannot, in good conscience, support the lowering of access to the ballot in Littleton.'
This election was called by residents collecting 3,628 valid signatures required under the current law, which is 10% of the number of voters registered to vote on the date the intent to circulate a petition was first filed.
We fully support the ability of residents to circulate petitions to put questions to voters directly on the ballot. Taking matters directly to voters is an essential check on government. However, we have also seen, especially in Denver, how the initiative petition process can be abused by special interest groups. Denver voters have been inundated in recent years with special taxes for special projects circumventing the city’s budget and oversight process.
Ballot Measure 301 in 2022 would have prevented 2,000 homes from being built at Aspen Grove shopping center near Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue. In November,the plans to build such density at the site by a margin of 59% to 41%. However, that vote had no effect because the developer had already abandoned plans for such high density and instead proposed putting 500 homes on the lot.
