Colorado Voters Approve Propositions to Fund Free School Meals
In a significant electoral outcome, Colorado voters have approved Propositions LL and MM, which aim to enhance funding for free school meals, including an increase in taxes on high earners. Early returns indicate strong support for these measures, which will allow the state to keep and allocate all collected revenue for school meals. This approval signals a vital boost to the school meals program, ensuring that all public school students can access nutritious meals. Analysts note this move may set the stage for future tax considerations as voters also weigh nearly 100 local proposals in the elections.
