Ballot Errors Reported In Palisade, Fremont County
DENVER (AP) — Some Palisade residents have received the wrong ballots, and the Fremont County Clerk's Office says some of their ballots do not have a tax measure for the Fremont County Fire Protection District.
Mesa County Clerk Sheila Reiner says a problem was discovered when a Palisade voter noticed that two ballot measures were not on his mail-in ballot.
The measures ask Palisade voters if they want to allow the retail sale of recreational marijuana, and to impose a special tax on those sales.
The Fremont County ballot question asks voters if they want to raise taxes by $925,000 to maintain the current level of emergency services and avoid cutbacks.
