GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ A whistleblower lawsuit filed in Denver this week says Gov.

- ➤ Gov. Jared Polis signed legislation to refer two ballot measures to voters in November to decide the future funding for the Healthy School Meals for All program. One measure would let the state spend extra revenue from taxpayers earning over $300k—aimed at covering a funding shortfall—while the other would expand the program by further limiting tax deductions.
