Grand Junction voters will decide the future of marijuana businesses in the city, and potential tax revenue for city parks, when it votes on two ballot amendments on April 6.
On April 6, Grand Junction voters will decide through Measure 2C whether to allow a new development east of Las Colonias Park to modify certain conditions put on development of the site, including altering a trail easement for the Riverfront Trail.
Campaign finance reports are in for the April 6 City Council election and so far the eight candidates have combined to raise more than $75,000.
We originally opposed Amendment 64, which legalized marijuana possession for adults under state law and authorized retail sales.
