Federal and State Government News

Ballot measures—As of August 26, three initiatives have qualified for the November ballot. Proposition 109—Authorize Bonds for Transportation Project (known colloquially as “Fix our damn roads”)—requires the Colorado Department of Transportation to issue bonds for $3.5 billion no later than July 1, 2019 with repayment not to exceed $5.3 billion over a twenty-year period without increasing taxes or fees. Initiative 153 (Proposition number not yet designated) is also a transportation funding measure that increases the state sales and use tax from 2.9 percent to 3.52 percent over a twenty-year period to pay for transportation needs including road and bridge maintenance, local government transportation needs, and multi-modal transportation.

Update from CMA Committees

CMA’s Coal, Hardrock and Uranium Committees meet jointly each month and provide members the opportunity to not only keep up to date on policy issues CMA is working on, but also the chance to interact with other CMA members. We find engagement among members at CMA meetings to be especially beneficial at these meetings. See All Committee Updates.

Awards

This year CMA is proud to announce that all of our awards have been updated to reflect progression of the mining industry. This includes our Environmental Sustainability Awards, Mine Health and Safety Awards, and the Coal and Hardrock Reclamation Awards. Learn More.
