My challenge to The Durango Herald is to undertake investigative reporting through filing Freedom of Information Act requests to the city of Durango for all correspondence, emails, memorandums, records of conversations and directives mentioning the Durango Gun Club as well as minutes of the brief “no-brainer” City Council meeting Smith cites to the Herald. Find the truth and print it.

Editor’s note: The city of Durango does not bargain with the Colorado Teachers Association or any teachers union. Negotiations with education-related unions is the business of Durango School District 9-R, which is unaffiliated with the city of Durango.
