If only our supreme leader was around years ago, “it” would have predicted the recession and saved all of us hard-working Americans so much pain. As to what that evil…
All of us LPEA members have been incredibly lucky to have someone of Guinn’s intelligence and experience on the board these past three years. I have found Guinn to be…
In 2017, I ran with Guinn and Rachel for a very different LPEA board. Back then, there was no discussion about investigating alternatives to our electricity. Our Tri-State contract then…
I asked if management knew about it and got dead silence. Just kept looking at me, not moving in any way. It is time for La Plata County, If not…
Surely there are more important issues. We pay a fraction that European countries pay anyway. Aren’t we under stay-at-home orders? That should save money at the pump. Stop whining! Cary…
The banners of plastic bags across the nation were able to convince the ignorant and misinformed to vote to ban the use of plastic bags for shopping carry-out. Very convenient…
Not one mention of anything negative, like losing the entire length of Forest Service Road 660A to private ownership, which the public and hunters now enjoy. Like losing an entire…
Following the Parkland school shooting, President Trump met with surviving students and promised them he would do something to prevent future shootings. However, only a few days later, Trump met…
There are certainly more important issues to worry about right now. Please move this project to the back burner or even better yet, scuttle it altogether. Use this money instead…
I have worked as a family doctor for 30 years, 16 of them in Durango. This experience has led me to the conclusion that Medicare for All is our best…
Not a great place to be. Social distance becomes “who can be trusted,” which becomes how do you know, which rapidly becomes diversity/division. Such division of the populace follows the…
This false information affects the world’s ability to deal with the virus. At the same time, the liberal U.S. media is deliberately skewing all coronavirus information so that it constantly…
With several bankruptcies in the casino biz, of all things! A serial philanderer gravitating to porn stars; known for cheating contractors and investors. A chronic liar! Known for over-promising and…
The goal of stabilization and increase of small bands of our rare native species of Rocky Mountain Bighorns is ecologically significant. My research proves that the Weminuche bighorn herd is…
Quilters arrived at the back door of the shop, many with masks on, to pick up kits provided by a local company. By the end of the day, gowns were…
You slapped it on the article as if anyone – including Dr. Anthony Fauci – could give a date to “have fans in stadiums.” President Trump was rightfully criticized for…
I have seen shady politics over my many years. But for President Trump to withhold medical supplies from Washington and Michigan is ridiculous and dangerous. He is defiant and reckless…
Chicago has been hit hard and they are converting McCormick Place into a facility for emergency beds for 3,000 people. The only logical place in Durango would be the Rec…
I try to stay positive, yet every morning is filled with uncertainty with the next wave of information about an epidemic that comes crashing down harder and harder with each…
Your electric rate is going up due to LPEA’s internal expense growth. LPEA buys most power from Tri-State and its electric rate has not gone up for many years. LPEA…
The average percentage of coal used by American utilities dropped from about 50% to 27%, beginning around 2007, when natural gas use became widespread. So why did Tri-State’s coal-generated electricity…
Of more consequence to voters is Brown’s indefensible promotion of Tipton as someone with a voting record that stands up to Nancy Pelosi. Tipton’s voting record is quite the opposite.…
I have an elderly brother living near Dolores. That’s why I need to be able to keep updated on the goings on around the Dolores/Durango area. Much appreciated. John RogersAustin,…
We agree that loss is part of the experience of social distancing, and that it may trigger past grief responses in those with prior losses. The Grief Center of Southwest…
One of these discrepancies exists in the things we place importance on. For instance, this country is giving a good deal of thought to COVID-19. This virus is indeed sinister,…
Our supersonic, high-speed merry-go-round has been stopped. Thank God! We have all been sent home to stay behind closed doors to listen. It’s hard to listen when we are all…
Unfortunately, there is no law that says when the funds must be paid back. Currently, LPEA is 20 years and $60 million behind in these required refunds. To add to…
Not long ago, in five days, I saw one semi and five cars at different times run red lights on Main Avenue at 550 north. They entered the intersection when…
Given the simplistic-slogan-smitten, rhetoric-enchanted nature of today’s Republican party, I set out to understand this thing they call Trump Derangement Syndrome. After observing President Trump and the Republicans for more…
However, there is more work to be done to build a better criminal justice system for our community. We must continue to build our capacity to work in a victim-centered…
