Dec 2013

The law says local governments can opt out, and Denver is one of only 19 municipalities and seven counties that have approved it so far. Colorado Springs could use a piece of that revenue, but the city council definitely won't be issuing any licenses. Next-door Manitou Springs is getting a lot of pressure not to allow any; they voted for a moratorium until the end of January and then will vote again.
