Colorado green lights minimum wage hike

The minimum wage in Colorado will hit $12 per hour by 2020. Currently, the state's minimum wage is $8.31 an hour. Supporters of amendment 70 say the hike falls in step with the rising cost if the living, while opponents say the increase would hurt small local business.

Amendment 72 Fails in Colorado

Amendment 72, a proposal that would triple taxes on tobacco products, failed in Colorado. The current tax rate in the state is $.84 per pack of 20 cigarettes. The passage of Amendment 72 would have hiked that rate to $2.59.
