Advocates want voters to have final say in Denver Winter Olympics bid
Fox 31/Channel 2 News
DENVER — The idea of Denver — and Colorado as a whole — hosting a winter Olympic Games has a long history and draws strong opinions.
Sunday night in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood, a crowd discussed why voters should have a final say in the matter.
“We just don’t think public money should be spent towards that,” said Let Denver Vote organizer Brandon Rietheimer.
The grassroots movement stems from recommendations Denver’s Winter Games Exploratory Committee made in June, suggesting Denver should pursue a bid for the next available games.
The 2022 games will be held in Beijing and the 2026 host city will be announced in September 2019, with no U.S. cities being considered.
