Colorado Springs: City Council Seeks to Overturn Election Outcome With New Marijuana Repeal Question
Members of the Colorado Springs city council decided 7 to 2 last night to place a ballot question before voters to overturn the outcomes of a pair of November marijuana initiatives.
On election day, 54 percent of voters approved Ballot Measure 300, which allows for adult-use retail marijuana sales to take place within the city’s limits. Voters also rejected a separate ballot measure (Question 2D) which sought to explicitly ban such activities. Colorado Springs (population: 489,000) is the largest city in state to prohibit the retail sale of adult-use cannabis products.
Despite those results, some council members allege that voters were “confused” by the ballot measures’ language and that they ought to be able to weigh in once again on the issue. A vote on the latest initiative, which asks voters to repeal Measure 300, will take place on April 1st — when turnout is anticipated to be far lower than it was in November.
