Vic, FINANCIAL STATUS??? Who the heck is talking about financial status??? I'm talking about paying for private school ahead of paying for health insurance for children. Thank goodness most parents don't follow that path. Could you imagine?
As for "facts," I'm commenting on what has been reported - the family had NO health insurance, but apparently had the means to send THREE children to private school. Are you kidding me?
And questioning why parents would make such a choice has nothing AT ALL to do with sympathy for the child - or the heartache the family has gone through. As I repeatedly have said (which you and the other self-righteous posters choose not to read): thank goodness the child was not hurt more and thank goodness she lives in a caring community.
I just wonder why parents would choose private school over health insurance. And I'm not talking about daycare here, I'm talking about private primary school. I'm sure there are parents who have to choose to pay for daycare so they can go to work, but can't afford health insurance as well. That's TOTALLY different than paying for school the state provides for free instead of paying for health insurance. Never in a million years would I make that choice.
All the personal attacks by all the self-righteous people in Routt County still won't change the fact it's irresponsible for parents to spend money on private school instead of health insurance.
And again, thank goodness that little girl wasn't hurt worse and thank goodness she lives in a community so willing to help.
Hey kielbasa (can I call you sausage?), what's your point? I'm so tired of these self-important "reporters" using a bullypulpit for their own half-formed rants. It's an A&E section. Why the heck is she writing about genetic engineering?? And why the heck is she counting 330 dog breeds on a website? Worthless prattle. And sorry to tell you Sausage, but she won't last forever. Although you can take heart - she'll be replaced by a clone; another in a long line of late-20s, early-30s single white women who just can't seem to find that Mr. Right but LOVE to tell us how worldly/educated/experienced/sophisticated they are.
1.25 is outrageous. It's PUBLIC. And the "cost" that you reference is already PAID FOR by the public. This is the cost for COPIES of public records. It's absolutely outrageous.
ok numbers ... it's STUPID to write news stories about relatively low-level promotions within a government agency. It's lazy. It's weak. There are plenty of other stories that could fill that spot. At the most it should be a part of the "briefs". But of course since your husband is a cop you believe it's BIG news. Lame.

Joe,
That's just the way they are ... they like to call names from atop their high horses.
i suggest the editor remove those lowball-type posts. They obviously can't talk about the issue so they resort to name-calling.
Classy.
