Here are the top stories today in Denver:

1. After ditching the new state FAMLI program, Denver strikes out on its own. The City of Denver thinks it can provide paid family leave benefits for less, for the city's 11,000-plus employees, and deliver it more quickly than the state's program. (Denverite)
2. Denver breaks record for daily rainfall. The 64-year-old daily rainfall record for Aug. 21 was broken yesterday. Nearly 1.14 inches of rain fell at DIA where Denver's weather measurements are taken. (FOX31)
3. Voters will decide fate of statewide affordable housing bill. If passed, the Make Colorado Affordable bill will require the State of Colorado to spend around $270M in the first year on affordable housing. (CPR)
4. Real estate transfer taxes reaping huge cash for Colorado towns that enacted them. Some mountain communities approved real estate transfer taxes in the 1970s and 1980s, prior to the before the passage of the 1992 Colorado Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR). Now many of those town's tax coffers are filled to the brim. (CO Sun)
