So it comes as quite a surprise that my enthusiasm for Durango and its people evidently is not shared by the sheriff of La Plata County. Duke Schirard has a…
Regarding the campaign signs and Durango sign ordinances, I see way more Sean Smith signs in questionable places than signs for Schirard. Because I don’t live in the city limits…
First you put on your left turn signal. Your goal is to signal your intention to turn, not to confirm what everyone can already see you are doing. Next you…

Gardner supported two recent attempts for a “personhood” amendment to the Colorado Constitution. While serving in the current U.S. House of Representatives, he co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act that…
Having three stand-alone charter schools is not “completing the loop.” Quite the contrary, this structure is egregiously stressful on students and faculty. It is detrimental to our community’s children to…
