Voters To Decide Future Olympic Games Funding

DENVER (CBS4)- Denver voters overwhelmingly approved Initiative 302 on Tuesday's ballot, which puts the funding question for potential Olympic games to the people. Some 80% voted in favor of the election requirement.

It will keep the city from using tax dollars on a bid without getting voter's approval first.

In 2018, Denver tried to put a bid together in hopes of becoming a candidate for the 2030 Winter Games. The United States Olympic Committee ultimately chose Salt Lake City in December.
