Comment on Aurora speedway ballot initiative greenlighted after judge tosses lawsuit from residents

Aurora speedway ballot initiative greenlighted after judge tosses lawsuit from residents

Aurora residents will likely see a ballot measure on the November ballot asking them to repeal a citywide ban on motorsports venues. If it passes, a 1,700-acre area southeast of Denver International Airport could be designated as an entertainment district, allowing the city to use subsidies to smooth the way for new venues — like a speedway — to be built. District Court Judge John Wheeler sided with the city, dismissing a lawsuit filed by Aurora residents Jason Legg and Kristin Mallory that would have killed the ballot measure. The lawsuit claimed language of the measure was intentionally misleading to voters, and that title language broke rules by addressing more than a single subject. The city did not return calls for comment. Legg said he doesn’t support subsidizing in general, but isn’t taking issue with that.
