Fortunately, the latest round of tax cuts encouraged our business owners and community members to take that risk. With more take-home pay and less red tape, starting that dream business…
I believe most conservatives do not agree with the deplorable behavior that has been seen by many Republicans, and really do want to heal the divide in this country. I…
Our current secretary of state, Wayne Williams, was only one of three secretaries in the U.S. to provide our voter data to President Trump. He’s opined it’s “not just wrong,…
At first I ignored it as a ploy by some anonymous PAC funded by the health insurance and medical industry fat cats. Then I noticed the return address: VoteTipton.com. These…
First, it mischaracterizes the office of attorney general. It is not a functionary “nuts and bolts” job. Instead it is a policy position to protect Colorado’s air, land, water, justice…
Allison Aichele recited the laws that pertain to the treasurer’s job. However, I got the impression Black has a better understanding of what they actually mean in the real world,…
Others have made important arguments for the benefits of this tax increase. Rather than reiterate those arguments, I hope to persuade those who generally oppose paying more taxes on principle.…
I have one suggestion: Direct the police to enforce the law as it exists. The city would therefore enact a “zero tolerance” policy on the issue much like dozens of…
The restaurant owners could not afford bad press, so the only choice they had was to remove the sign whether they wanted to or not. Their right to display whatever…
Don’t take it from me, do your own research! We limp along with the Affordable Healthcare Act – the butchered remains of worthy efforts for American universal healthcare, after insurance…
Voters in HD 59 have a golden opportunity to elect an independent/unaffiliated to the Colorado Legislature. Paul Jones will represent the people in HD 59 and not a political party.…
Prior to council approving 2A, the city conducted several outreach meetings where the public was invited. The solution for the police station and infrastructure without 2A was identified by an…
For an administration that complained about the departure of factory and mining jobs, it’s certainly not thinking outside the box as far as other labor possibilities go! At the same…
We have a remarkable, highly qualified candidate for Colorado Senate in Guinn Unger. His advocacy for renewables as a director at La Plata Electric Association is clear evidence of his…
Jones: “Can you actually say that every vote was in support of the district?” Barbara McLachlan: “Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have supported it.” Jones: “So you think a mandatory minimum…
Do you know a former Teacher of the Year who is a 44-year Durango resident running to be reelected to the Colorado Legislature? Have you met Barbara McLachlan? Do you…
We’ll have “rationed” care: Currently, 120 Americans die every day from lack of health care compared to zero in Canada. Thirty million Americans are uninsured or underinsured, with limited services.…
This is not your father’s library anymore. It has an adjacent, outdoor park (jointly with the town of Bayfield and funded by grants); a thriving community garden; outdoor movie nights;…
I support Clyde Church for La Plata County commissioner because of his experience working with diverse groups through Rotary International, his work on business incubators near Dove Creek and his…
In that same spirit, I believe a change for the better includes electing a new sheriff named Charles Hamby. From late 2011 until June 2016, I worked for the La…

Soon, all the Durango mom-and-pops will be renting rooms at a major discount to barely stay alive. Only corporate hotels can afford empty rooms as a write-off. What happened to…
Coal was the energy of the past. It was wonderful for advancing human civilization, but it’s time to move past coal, just like we did with whale oil and typewriters.…
I will be the first to say I wince at the sound of someone saying, “raising taxes is a good thing.” As a business owner for 15 years, I have…
Phil Weiser is, by far, the best choice. His opponent has been a prosecutor, supportive of hard-line positions on sentencing and crime who cares little for criminal justice or prison…
Meanwhile, Sean Smith has been working for this community. His management of the 416 Fire bears repeating. No deaths. No major injuries. No homes lost. An orderly, well-coordinated evacuation plan.…
Everyone believes in the work that our first responders do, but we need to more than just to say thank you in Facebook posts. The money from 2A will be…
The article states their motives are to seek just compensation for those who suffered losses and not put the train out of business. Nowhere is it stated they work for…
