There is a plethora of worthy projects and causes in our area, and plenty of other needed infrastructure improvements. While the sum requested by the Powerhouse may be relatively modest, it needs to be given the same scrutiny that any request from a private source would be subject to. The treatment of government resources deserves the same respect as our own.

If the Powerhouse truly has a valid plan and a legitimate need, prove it. Durangoans value culture and education; we also value honesty and foresight. Hopefully, the leadership at the Powerhouse will respond in kind.
