Governor Polis Celebrates Approval of Prop NN and 7A Ballot Measure
DENVER, Today, Governor Jared Polis released the following statement after Colorado voters approved Proposition NN, directing additional resources to K-12 education, and ballot measure 7A, setting the stage for Colorado to deliver passenger rail service to connect communities across the Front Range.
“Coloradans just voted to invest in our future with the approval of Prop NN and 7A. With Prop NN, we’re investing in our schools to reduce class sizes, increase teacher pay, and expand child care and preschool to save families money. With 7A, we’re now on our way to deliver Front Range Passenger Rail, which will connect Colorado communities, reduce traffic, protect our clean air, and save Coloradans time and money. Great schools and giving Coloradans more transportation options have been two of my top priorities as Governor, and I look forward to seeing how these investments in our future improve the Colorado way of life for decades to come,” said Governor Polis.
