BIG NEWS! This week the Colorado State House will vote on a statewide housing bill that would prohibit cities (like Boulder!) from setting occupancy limits based on relationship status!

This is what happens when you hold local elections in April of odd years. Off-cycle elections cause low turnout and are unrepresentative in terms of age, race, ethnicity, and income.
The proof is in the putting ⛳️🏌🏼

This is a really interesting development: Local elections are often SUCH LOW TURNOUT because of when they are timed, and some places are taking action to change that. xitter.cf/boltsmag/status/159161…
In San Francisco and in Boulder, Colorado, voters approved proposals on Tuesday to move city elections from odd-numbered to even-numbered years so that they coincide with federal and statewide elections. The idea is to boost turnout. boltsmag.org/ballot-measures…
