With no deal in sight, Colorado road funding spat may be headed to voters in November

The Colorado Contractors Association is pushing a ballot measure (Initiative 175) to enshrine road funding in the state constitution, defying a June 15 deadline set by lawmakers to withdraw. A new law (House Bill 1430) would cut existing road spending if the initiative passes, aiming to force negotiations. Critics argue it would harm the state budget, while supporters claim gas tax relief and better roads.
