To make matters worse, Tri-State’s energy is expensive, and with its $3.2 billion debt, electricity costs can only go up. The August 2018 Rocky Mountain Institute Report found that Tri-State…

My wife and I are new residents of Durango and were amazed to see the Herald’s improvements in news coverage, editorials, and overall volume of community events and services, professionally…
year’s Pulitzers recognize skilled reporters as first-responders
“The country is a mess,” Trump said, “and only I can fix it.” Two years of total Republican control and they have fixed nothing. Two years of complaining about infrastructure…
Senate Bill 19-181 is not Proposition 112. It’s not a handful of legislators that supported this bill. It was the majority of legislators that the people of Colorado elected. I’ll…
9/11 we asked, Why do they hate us? Now it’s time to ask, Why do we?
It’s high time. I applaud Sen. Cory Gardner’s recent op-ed, “Green New Deal is a raw new deal for Colorado” (April 4), inviting bipartisan collaboration on climate solutions. In it,…
Dan’s integrity has always been above reproach. He has been upfront about being a net-metering participant and has abstained from voting on this controversial issue. We need more directors to…
As the car sped by, three little children and two adults came out of the alley onto East Third Avenue. It was providence that a disaster did not occur. I…
If population is going to grow and more food is to be required, then why would anyone want to reduce the rate of emission, or worse yet, actually seek to…
Efforts to recall Democrats in Colorado are circular, impractical and lame
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that when you must win the popular vote across all 50 states and D.C. to be awarded the 270 electoral votes necessary…
More comics and puzzles would have been an improvement; instead, there are fewer. My penciled answers almost disappear in the huge boxes of the puzzles. Should I bring a crayon?…
In your opinion piece about the Green New Deal (“Green New Deal is a raw new deal for Colorado,” April 4), you emphasize the importance of working together, across the…
Durango and Cortez have what once were progressive forms of government
I support U.S. House Resolution 763, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019, a market-driven federal bill with bipartisan co-sponsors that addresses the risks of climate change by…
The go-slow naysayers out there are sticking their collective heads farther into the sand if they think climate change will simply go away if we just wait for a while.…
Colorado Legislature acts to do what the federal government forgot
Hunters gain improved habitat and corridors for much-loved Colorado big game species like Rocky Mountain big horn sheep, elk and mule deer. Anglers see increased protections for Colorado cutthroat trout,…

Before even taking office, he had to pay $25 million for scamming Americans with his fake university. Trump claimed he hires only the best people. I guess he meant to…
Apparently, there are serious concerns as to the way it squeezes additional funds from the everyday hunter, both out-of-state and resident. The newest regulations require a hunter to purchase an…
Trout Unlimited, a national grassroots organization, made a big endorsement this week for a bipartisan climate change solution – the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Trout Unlimited President and…
Inevitably, these solutions ignore certain realities and the diverse needs of the members. Take, for example, the La Plata Electric Association. It has been proposed that a simple jump from…
elections mostly show voters’ wisdom on sales tax and City Council
Sports teams doing their fund raiser car washes (guess who paid for the water?). Who listened to the complaints when the car wasn’t washed quite right or even worse when…
The editors indict the media broadly for their coverage of efforts to undermine our elections, when by and large media have reported known facts about a conspiracy with grave consequences…
