Denver City Council passes $2.4 billion budget with focus on housing and transportation
“Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Denver’s focused on housing, homelessness and transportation. Now stop me if you’ve heard this before: Denver still has serious problems with housing, homelessness and transportation. The Denver City Council unanimously passed Mayor Michael Hancock’s 2019 budget Tuesday with those priorities in mind, plus new funding for mental health services, public safety and an office to streamline partnerships with the private sector. It’s a $2.4 billion spending plan, a 3 percent increase over 2018.”
