VICTORY IN AURORA
Rights for All People, in coordination with Coloradans for Safe Communities, helped file a legal challenge in Aurora.
And on Friday August 14....
A judge has put the brakes on a controversial ballot measure that would have forced police to tow vehicles driven by unlicensed drivers. According to the judge’s ruling, handed down Friday morning, the 5,278 signatures gathered in support of the measure were invalid because the petition did not include the full text of the initiative. The judge’s ruling means the measure, which has met stiff opposition from immigrant advocat, law enforcement and area auto dealers, might not make it to this fall’s ballot.
The ruling came after an Aurora woman, Jacqueline Skene, protested the signatures that Dan Hayes, the Arvada real estate broker pushing the measure, filed with the city last month. “I filed the protest against the initiative because I am very concerned that the proponents misled voters to support a flawed policy through a very flawed process. Unfortunately, these petitions demonstrated both a blatant disrespect for the use of taxpayer funds and a disregard for the rules that protect the voters of Aurora,” Skene said in a statement Friday after the ruling.
