Here are the top six stories today in Denver: Denver City Council votes 10-3 in favor of massive airport $1.3bn contracts. The approval paves the way to complete the long-delayed upgrade to the Great Hall. The plan's aim is to accommodate more passengers and modernize check-in areas, including a new security checkpoint at the airport. This will take the renovation's final cost well over $2 billion. Council members Candi CdeBaca, Paul Kashmann, and Amanda Sawyer voted no, with Sawyer suggesting the process behind the contracts was not transparent enough.
