While making a good point, it appears there is misunderstanding. In actuality, the path is a legitimate swath of open ground through thick oak brush that was likely made 100…
I guess you’re stuck with all the letters to the editor, a few of which are worth reading. Most of them are repetitive opinions that don’t add anything to what…
And it’s not only the cost to U.S. taxpayers. There’s acquisition of privately held property. Most of the already-constructed wall is on public land. Landowners along the border have multiple…
After having the house lot surveyed and favorable approval from the six or seven governmental agencies, I went to the department for closure. This was a mere beginning. The department…
Will your “Consumer Freedom” amendment of the Better Care Reconciliation Act really exempt members of congressional families from the essential benefits provisions? I hope you have not forgotten that your…
Rosa Sabido (Herald, July 2) is an illegal immigrant and should be treated as such. A lot of immigrants did the right things to stay; why shouldn’t she? Dale Morris…
Motorcycles have been allowed to share the trails! Now I dodge deep gouges and ruts, exposed roots and rolling rocks as well as having to endure the noise and smell…
The article about north City Market and Mac’s Liquors (Herald, June 23) was distressing at first glance, for two businesses next door to each other fighting over space. Taking another…
I do not blame Fox News for reporting a fact of life downtown; I blame the progressive city council for not addressing the problem. Yes, I understand the threats coming…
Mac’s Liquors parking area had been held under lease by City Market since 1981. At that time, a rate of payment, schedule and schedule of increase was established. The past…
First of all, thanks so much for the amazing job you are doing. I’m Paul, a huge fan of anything coming out of Colorado and the mile high city. Even…
When I came here four years ago from upstate New York, I didn’t understand the torrent of patients coming in asking for “their medication back” for known severe psychiatric disorders…
An awful lot of us are operating with flabby brains! We waste our mental energy memorizing negative bumper-sticker concepts and then shouting them as loudly as possible at our similarly…
You know, we’re not the only community that has that trouble with droners; they are everywhere. You say, “lock them up.” I say to them, Droners, if you want a…
I am also concerned about how few folks educate themselves about issues, vote, and get involved. At 73, I’ve figured out where I stand; Trump’s election has helped me do…
But the article left out another Leo Lloyd – his grandfather. Dr. Lloyd came to Durango in 1936, and was a co-owner of the old Ochsner Hospital (currently known as…
Julie Westendorff was a prosecutor for the Southern Utes; she was also a Realtor and understands how county policies directly affect home and business values. Brad Blake owns two separate…
Specifically speaking, the McDonalds parody with “McConnellcare, over 22 million uninsured” and the baseless rant from Joanne Graves both on the same page (Herald, June 28). Regarding the uninsured, this…
My experience over 80-plus years is that these values have underlaid most of our participation in the world, with, of course, some notable exceptions. I’m concerned now that we, as…
Rosa is someone who has done everything by the book since she has been in this country, including spending up to $5,000 per year for the last eight years in…
Ryan and Ammon Bundy with friends, using guns, took over Malheur Wildlife Refuge for six weeks, endangering staff and visitors. The final cost to taxpayers for the standoff is running…
The federal government has no business collecting and compiling data on the voters of Colorado, especially considering the impetus for which is the president’s very fragile sense of self. All…
For many years it was a mandatory state requirement for food vendors to be licensed and insured in Colorado to serve food, and yet for some reason, the past couple…
Which begs the question: who exactly is the illegal immigrant that this fool now called the president is so bent on ridding himself of? He must have attended his own…
In that letter, I asked the commissioners to explain these unethical acts. After more than ample time, unanswered emails and no phone calls, we the taxpayers still do not have…
The best healthcare is about providers who can listen. It is about offering help and hope to the ill and the depressed. It is about compassion for those whose diseases…
It is hard to understand the self-centered health care proposals that the Republican leadership is proposing. I am reminded of the line in the Gospel that should be a guiding…
Should we be proud of this fact? Yes! Then why are we so wedded to the past when it comes to energy? Fact: 373,000 Americans worked in solar energy last…
If I’m dying for a blizzard, Do I contact Mr. Wizard? Or do I drive to New Mexico? And if I want a chicken dinner (the finger-lickin’ was a winner),…
Our vision is a world in which every child obtains the right to safety, growth and an opportunity to achieve their dreams. We want to connect with local other youth…
