Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush: Clearing up Senate Bill 252
There is misinformation about the amended, final Senate Bill 252. Let me share what I know from my research and outreach, which led me to demand changes to the bill.
Mark Divine: Thanks to ’Boat
This past week, about 40 of your city’s residents descended on our park at the same time. These people were some of the kindest and friendliest campers ever to visit here.
Hill Blackett Jr.: 2nd Amendment
When the Founding Fathers wrote the Second Amendment, they were thinking about one-shot muskets or pistols, not automatic and semi-automatic weapons capable of killing scores of people.
Kevin Copeland: Our side of mountain
Some people never cease to amaze us. These are the individuals “out there” who think that the lights come on with the flip of a switch and that hairdryers and electric razors work when plugged in.
Charlie Preston-Townsend: What makes local?
Steamboat Springs has been blitzed with the idea of “Buy Local” for some time thanks to a successful campaign by local businesses in the day of online shopping. We are similarly faced with the local option as the popularity of the Farmers Market continues to grow.
Betsy Packer: Small town support
One of my worst nightmares came true as the ski season ended. I found myself in the hospital with broken bones and no family in town to care for my immediate needs. Where would I go and how would I manage on my own? With a few phone calls and the help of friends, I experienced what a small town is all about.
Lenny Herzog: Sovereignty surrender
Soon after the passage of controversial laws affecting the ability of the people of Colorado to defend themselves against enemies foreign and domestic, Senate Bill 13-013 was passed.
Elaine Gay and family: Thank you
Many thanks to all those who wished me a happy 95th birthday by calling, visiting and sending cards, letters, flowers and gifts.
Paul Potyen: Support SB 252
As a member of the Yampa Valley community who is concerned about environmental issues, I support Senate Bill 252.
John Spezia: Just the facts
There is an old saying that states, “Everyone can have their own opinions, but not their own facts.” When opinions move into the realm of facts, citizens, elected representatives, voters and public officials make bad decisions and pronouncements.
Glenda Tibbs: Drive safe
Please be aware of all those construction signs out there for slower speeds.
Chuck McConnell: Costly to rural Colorado
If the Colorado Assembly has its way, the electric bills of hundreds of thousands of rural Colorado families, ranchers, farmers and businesses will increase needlessly. Senate Democrats introduced Senate Bill 252, which will expand by 150 percent the amount of high-cost electricity from renewable sources required by Colorado’s electric co-ops.
Bill Marolt: Best-in-the-world athlete
The past decade has seen the U.S. Nordic Ski Team’s greatest success. That is in no small part due to Johnny Spillane’s leadership and commitment to excellence.
Dr. David Criste: Good job, Senate
Incredibly, the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate, led by Harry Reid, rejected any new anti-gun legislation. It apparently recognized that more laws that only place a burden on the law-abiding do not decrease violence.
Kenny Reisman: Be smart about alcohol
Some adults will host parties where alcohol is provided because they think they can better protect teens in supervised situations. However, these beliefs and misperceptions are not supported by research.
