The Denver City Council voted down eight proposed amendments to the city’s 2025 budget on Monday night, including rejecting a request to give another $2.5 million to the Denver Basic Income Project, a program that is gauging the impact of providing direct cash assistance to homeless or formerly homeless Denverites. The final vote on that proposed change was a 6-6 tie with one member, Councilwoman Flor Avlidrez, absent for the latter part of the meeting.
