That would not be so insulting if Gardner could actually tell his constituents what socialism is, and where in the Green New Deal such horrors lie. What he trivializes are…
I am grateful to my fellow councilors: Sweetie Marbury, Doug Lyon, Paul Broderick, Christina Rinderle, Dean Brookie, Keith Brant, Melissa Youssef and Chris Bettin, for their commitments to the city…
While I personally cannot wait for the full, unredacted version, the one released shows a shameful president and presidency. While I am greatly relieved that there was no hand-in-hand, give-and-take…
The current EPA officials charged with enforcing this act were, in 2017, partners in this lobbying firm. Indeed, one of these officials was paid $2.1 million that year for this…
Imagine no more premiums, deductibles, co-pays or medical bills as Medicare extends to every U.S. citizen. The positive change will be comprehensive, covering inpatient, outpatient, ER, Rx, mental, dental, vision,…
It is completely obvious that Sigman has not seen the gut wrenching videos on the Netflix series “Our Planet” showing walruses having to climb steep cliffs, penguins losing their breeding…
He slams Obama, they cheer. Shutting down the government and closing the southern border, they cheer. If Trump told them he was stopping their Medicare, social security and welfare checks,…
We have recently moved to Durango and absolutely love reading the Herald. The stories are well written and insightful and the photojournalism is exceptional. The Durango Herald is journalism at…
On the front door a sign read: mail received after 3 p.m. will be postmarked the next day. Hmm? What happened to postmarking by midnight on Tax Day? This is…
Take away Doonesbury and leave us with the choices that you have chosen – it’s enough to make an old person cry. However, I see hope with the new guy,…
Once again we are witnessing change. The generation of electricity is moving beyond fossil fuels despite the subsidies that the industry enjoys. Unfortunately, Tri-State Generation and Transmission relies upon its…
If you listen to the Democrats, illegal aliens are the absolute solution to all our problems! But wait. What’s happening here? Apparently all this laud and glory is a lie?…
I was astounded by the tin-ear response from Julie Popp, Durango School District 9-R spokeswoman. She criticized Robyn Baxendale’s effort by stating “negatively casted, nondistrict-sponsored fundraisers are not necessary.” Seriously?…
We have known for decades that noise pollution is bad for our health. It’s also unpleasant and only continues to get worse as the population grows. Clearly, it’s not attractive…
First, there are several resources for syndicated comic strips such as arcamax.com. If the Herald doesn’t carry your faves, look elsewhere, and they’re all free to access. Second, Ms. Byrd…
I read somewhat in horror the meandering editorial focused around walruses falling to their deaths (“Walrus down: It’s time to care about pinnipeds,” April 15) and wondered if anyone ever…
The president of the United States asked a 22-year-old girl, his intern, for sex. I hope by now we all understand that she could not have given consent, that the…
Currently, LPEA is bound by a contract to Tri-State power that will not expire for 31 years! Tri-State is a coal-driven power company and our contract limits the amount of…
Given that Earth’s atmosphere now contains more carbon dioxide, 25% more, in fact, than at anytime in 800,000 years, happy days are here! I heard a glass of wine a…
The Community Foundation is bringing a leading voice in the fight to stop cyber-bullying to Durango for two public events. In 1998, Monica Lewinsky became arguably the first mass victim…
Young or old, Americans across the country are facing the existential threat of climate change. Their message: We want major climate action, we want both parties on board, and now…
Second, federal subsidies have strongly favored fossil fuels over other U.S. energy sources (nuclear, biofuels, renewables). Why are we paying more for dirtier energy that is dangerous to our health…
Since then, the children of presidents have been off limits – until the Herald ran an editorial cartoon of a tax return on April 15th indicating that those children with…
A year after Bayfield resident Edin Ramos was separated from his family and deported to Honduras, ICE agents are still hard at work, targeting businesses, residences, schools and court in…
To make matters worse, Tri-State’s energy is expensive, and with its $3.2 billion debt, electricity costs can only go up. The August 2018 Rocky Mountain Institute Report found that Tri-State…
They blew it! To have removed some well-drawn favorites and replaced them with truly dumb ones is unforgivable. And now we’re told sure, you can see more comics, but you…
My wife and I are new residents of Durango and were amazed to see the Herald’s improvements in news coverage, editorials, and overall volume of community events and services, professionally…
“The country is a mess,” Trump said, “and only I can fix it.” Two years of total Republican control and they have fixed nothing. Two years of complaining about infrastructure…
Senate Bill 19-181 is not Proposition 112. It’s not a handful of legislators that supported this bill. It was the majority of legislators that the people of Colorado elected. I’ll…
It’s high time. I applaud Sen. Cory Gardner’s recent op-ed, “Green New Deal is a raw new deal for Colorado” (April 4), inviting bipartisan collaboration on climate solutions. In it,…
