Rocky Mountain Independent: Denver safety officials warned that if a vehicle-impound measure on the November ballot passes, enforcement of the law could add to the city’s budget problems and result in police-response delays.
“There’s a domino effect,” said Sgt. Dan McCoy, Denver police liaison to the manager of public safety’s office. McCoy joined City Attorney David Broadwell and Chief Gary Wilson and Capt. Craig Meyer of the Denver Sheriff’s Department in briefing the City Council’s Safety Committee this week on the impact of Initiative 300. The measure, which will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot, would augment Denver’s existing vehicle-impound law. Last year, Denver voters passed Initiative 100, giving police officers the discretion to impound the vehicles of unlicensed drivers, including cars driven by illegal immigrants. To reclaim the vehicle, the owner must post a bond of $2,500 within 30 days or the car is auctioned off. The city holds the bond for one year, and it is forfeited if an unlicensed driver operates the vehicle in Colorado during that time. Initiative 300 came about because its proponent, Daniel Hayes, a Jefferson County resident, thinks that Denver has not been willing to enforce Initiative 100. “They towed cars that shouldn’t be towed,” he said Wednesday. ”They don’t care about the public safety.”

Great site. I like your commenting system. My apologies for the off-topic posting, nonetheless I was quite pleased with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australia OPen this year. The man is just unrivaled. He proved he was as solid as metal. Only imagine about he he could whip Nadal who was so encouraged to gain as well as really was so motivated up during the 5th set. I’m beginning to feel that Djokovic has been doing some faith based work to bring some aids on his side that help him secure these matches up against the finest players in the entire world
