In our community as in many others, we have had the unfortunate reality of pedestrian and vehicle injuries and fatalities. The Open Space and Trails master plan approved in 2001…
Our recreation facilities are in sore need of an update, particularly Chapman Hill ice arena. The facility is more than 30 years old and provides only part-time ice. With only…
It’s funny and sad that while on opposing sides, our argument is the same. Trump supporters think that Democrats are having meltdowns over the election; we actually believe that it’s…
Although commissioners represent individual districts, in this case the city of Durango, they serve the entire county. Marsha Porter-Norton is exceptionally well-qualified to do this. She has extensive experience as…
This would preserve the park and allow it to be dedicated to future public use forever. The bridge, on the other hand, is not needed and is too expensive. Caroni…
While I understand the need of the co-op to increase rates, I don’t appreciate them spinning the facts and lying about the policy to pretty it up. The write up…

I assumed that Buckley Park was part of Durango’s park system, but your article states it is owned by 9-R and therefore can be included in this sale. I understand…
Arguments for Denver news by our community leaders seem to me to be superfluous since you can readily receive your favorite Denver channel news live on streaming media devices or…
Surely, walkers and cyclists would not be too burdened by stopping for a light to cross the tracks and then 32nd Street. Daniel FarmerDurango
Marsha has been a tireless contributor to the La Plata County community since the 1980s. She is a strong advocate for high-quality health care, helping form the Community Health Action…

With the help of the corrupt Republican Senate and the people that have been bought, like the attorney general, the election might already be over. No true Christian should support…
Blackrock manages $7 trillion. Fidelity International indicated environment, social and governance principles (ESG) may be hitting a tipping point: “The change can be seen through most sectors and all regions,…

A city manager runs a government like a business – which includes growing the business. Increases in wages and personnel are constantly ongoing. As an actual member of the community…

The Colorado Climate Center has confirmed that 2019 was the hottest year on record for the state of Colorado. In addition to this, we are experiencing country-wide fires in Australia…
They lost, they went into a deep state of delirium, all their “damning evidence” proved to be so much dust in the wind. The so-called secret whistleblower, whose name is…
Many may think this statement is overstating reality; it is not. The Republicans allowed a fascist into their midst and he has destroyed their party. Thus it has become exceedingly…
