The Durango Herald failed to mention, in its Jan. 17 article about this meeting, the two most important facts we found out that night:

First, our commissioners did not even read the new codes before sending them to the public.

Second, the consulting company hired at a cost of $250,000 (that we paid for) was from Dallas. Why hire a company that has no clue about living in La Plata County?

Please re-elect not one of these commissioners. They have proven not worthy of our votes.
