Announcement passed by city council to urge “no” vote on ballot measure
The Denver City Council on Monday passed a proclamation urging voters to defeat a ballot initiative that would require police to impound the vehicles of unlicensed drivers. All but one council member heaped scorn on the initiative, saying it was a costly, thinly veiled attack against illegal immigrants that would end up requiring the city to spend precious resources. “It will tie up police time,” said Councilman Doug Linkhart, who sponsored the proclamation. “It will tie up city attorney time. It will tie up court time.”
