MAYOR WIELDS BUDGET AXE AS FISCAL CRISIS LOOMS

Falling sales tax revenue, rising costs and cutbacks in federal aid are forcing Denver's municipal government to impose furloughs and a hiring freeze, Mayor Mike Johnston said Thursday. Deeper cuts, including layoffs, could be next. "Denver now projects $50 million less revenue for 2025 and a $200 million gap in 2026 – marking the city’s first non-pandemic revenue drop in over a decade," according to Johnson's office.
