With the help of the corrupt Republican Senate and the people that have been bought, like the attorney general, the election might already be over. No true Christian should support…
Blackrock manages $7 trillion. Fidelity International indicated environment, social and governance principles (ESG) may be hitting a tipping point: “The change can be seen through most sectors and all regions,…
It has not happened because it is just nonsense dreamed up by college professors. They do this periodically to obtain money from the federal government and industry to fund their…
I was equally surprised when I heard that Buckley Park, a community treasure, was not owned by the city and could be developed! Thank you, Durango Herald, for covering these…
Tri-State recently declared a shift to 100% renewable energy in Colorado by 2040. While it’s a step toward a more sustainable future, Tri-State is still not allowing local electric co-operatives…
Our forefathers had the wisdom to insure that one group of people does not cram its decisions down our throats, like for example, people in big cities dictating who leads…
First of all, no real reasons for the endorsement are provided other than that he’s a rich, self-funding businessman. He’s so rich he can even buy the presidency! From the…
Did I mention Camino del Rio? Let’s face it – the real reason this controversial bridge is getting the hard sell is that the city recreation proponents want this abomination…
A city manager runs a government like a business – which includes growing the business. Increases in wages and personnel are constantly ongoing. As an actual member of the community…
While the river crossing section matches up with other Animas bridges (which I find reasonable), the section over the tracks look like a train carriage on stilts – literally! And…
Do we want a candidate who can beat Trump, or do we want to waste our time, nomination and American democracy quibbling over candidates who have no hope of winning…
In 2016 in Pennsylvania, 117,000 Sanders primary voters switched to Trump, who won the state in the general election by a margin of 44,292 votes. In Michigan, 48,000 Sanders primary…

Increasing bear numbers are part of the problem of fewer calves surviving. Add wolves to that equation and what happens to the elk that are left? Blaming hunters for a…
Nonlethal methods include ranchers having: “livestock guard dogs to alert flock attendants; radio-activated alarm systems to scare wolves away” – and livestock too? – “temporary electrified corrals to protect sheep…
Years ago there used to be about 12 states identified as battleground or swing states; states where either a Republican or Democratic presidential candidate could win. Unfortunately, in recent elections,…
Many “letters” are one-sided, factless rants that belong in the Opinion section, clearly identified as such. There are already outlets for long-winded, hate-spewing, politically oriented nonsense, and they go by…
Of course, the Rec Center is now the crown jewel of Durango amenities. Those opponents were wrong then and opponents of the 32nd Street trail bridge are wrong now. Opponents…

You helped to solve a mystery for me. I had previously researched Tipton’s campaign contributions and found the large donations from banking, finance and real estate sectors, much of which…
Do we use the money for a controversial bridge, which many oppose, or do we buy Buckley Park from the 9-R school district, thus preserving a bit of urban open…
