Broad Coalition Ask Colorado Contractors to Withdraw Proposed Initiative 175

AI Summary

A large group of organizations in Colorado is asking contractors to pull back a proposed measure called Initiative 175. They say this measure would take about $539 million away from important services like schools, hospitals, and programs for older people and those with disabilities. This money is needed for these services. The proposal is to fund road building without creating new money, which means taking funds from other areas. Many groups, including those for children, education, and healthcare, signed a letter saying this would hurt people across the state. They believe there should be better ways to fix roads that don't cut essential services.
