Voters in U.S. decide on sanctuary city, Airbnb rentals
Voters in some states are deciding whether to roll back conservative policies adopted in earlier eras. Ballot measures in Tucson and the states of Colorado and Washington gave voters another say on hot-button social issues: immigration, gambling, taxes and affirmative action.
Also, in New York and New Jersey, voters agreed to change the way some elections will be decided and approved restrictions on Airbnb and other short-term rental companies.Voters in the liberal enclave of Tucson rejected a proposal to designate it as Arizona’s only sanctuary city. The decision in one of Arizona’s most liberal cities is a relief for the Democrats who control city government.
Colorado voters rejected a ballot measure asking if the state could keep tax revenue that otherwise would be refunded under limits set by a 1992 constitutional amendment called the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.A measure that reinstates the use of affirmative action in state employment, contracting and admission to public colleges and universities was losing in early returns.
Voters in Washington were also weighing in on a transportation measure. In early returns they were approving the initiative that would cap annual vehicle registration fees at $30. If the measure goes on to pass, transit and road budgets across the state would be slashed.
