Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb says now isn’t the time to ask voters to approve a sales tax hike for affordable housing.
Webb says the measure, pushed by current Mayor Mike Johnston, will put a tax measure by Denver Health in jeopardy.
“I’m not opposed to affordable housing, I’m opposed to the timing,” Webb said. “I was surprised that Mayor Johnston, who has a lot of issues on his plate primarily around homelessness, did not delay it until the spring in order to get one of these issues passed.”
