City tax hike shows police that we care

My husband and I have been residents of Durango for over 40 years. We were delighted when the property tax for the fire department passed last year, and we both feel strongly that our police department deserves what will benefit them with the passage of 2A.

Everyone believes in the work that our first responders do, but we need to more than just to say thank you in Facebook posts. The money from 2A will be put to good use by the department, and will also show them that we believe in them and what they do for us.

We also think the part of 2A that will go to city streets is a good thing. We live on the west side, and these improvements to complete streets and make them ADA-accessible are also needed.

Please remember your fellow citizens when you look at your ballot.
