A Denver attorney has filed a ballot initiative that would allow Colorado grocery and convenience stores to sell full-strength beer and wine, reigniting a two-year-old debate over who should be able to pedal different types of alcohol in the state. Initiative 29, which was submitted by Blake Harrison to the Colorado Legislative Council on Tuesday, largely copies a 2008 legislative proposal by now-Senate President Brandon Shaffer, D-Longmont, that was killed in committee.
