"Colorado voters approved a ballot measure to provide free meals for all public
school students, according to a call from The Associated Press.

By a comfortable 55 percent to 45 percent margin, they voted to create a
program to provide those meals and help schools pay for them, according to
election results.

The measure will help schools pay for the meals by raising $100 million a year
by increasing taxes on the state's richest residents. Those making more than
$300,000 a year will see their state tax deductions limited, increasing their
taxable income."
