While talking to the public in Cincinnati, Donald Trump said that any member of Congress who didn’t stand up and applaud him during the State of the Union message was…
Such a contract valuation is but half the equation. LPEA must couple that with estimates of rates and delivery from other suppliers. Without this part of the analysis, what’s the…
Later, it had been moved to a vehicle in the VFW parking lot. The VFW is a nonprofit organization. It cannot display personal political views anywhere on its property, including…
To begin with, standing up for issues such as the repeal of regulations to protect us from the dangers of methane gas being released into our air, whether on a…
There is nothing grand about war for all parties involved. How can this destruction of our biosphere be tolerated? Is there no stopping them? This is what happens to our…
I’m sure every generation has expressed some similar sentiment. Having children during World War II could not have been easy. There are common and natural fears as well: the economy…
Many people are upset about the draft revisions to the La Plata County Land Use Code, but recalling one of the three county commissioners – all of whom support revising…
And not just future elections, but rather they seek to overturn past elections of candidates who won fair and square! I have always admired the independence of our citizens and…
Use less laundry detergent, and send the used water onto your yard. Pull out your washing machine to access the hose heading toward the sewer; save that water in buckets…
My two cents: I only read the Herald headlines online, but I’ve known that the planning process wrecked last time and the county is slowly beginning again. The question of…
I do question why John Beebe was given press attention. He lives in the gated community of Deer Valley, not Bayfield. I may be wrong, but I am guessing he…
Two very knowledgeable minds collaborated to share the wonderful music of thought. They were, to me, conductors of an orchestra of ideas that ran through my mind like a beautiful…
Really? Seriously? Did she forget that she approved spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase the document that she and staff were to develop, but did not, and now…
The vision that popped into my head was that of Wallachia peasants with pitchforks chasing down the bloodsucking Dracula in the 1400s. Only the 2018 peasants are a class of…
No, Gwen, you were elected to carry out the wants of those in your county. Americans For Prosperity is not behind the recall, nor are the Koch brothers. We have…
du1-i-syn I jumped out of my car and shot some photos of my own. It was -5 degrees that morning and you could see it in the locomotive’s steam and…
In response to an upcoming vote to extend the Superintendent’s contract, we asked the Board of Education to gather information on staff perceptions regarding leadership. The Board of Education denied…
In my opinion, she is doing the very thing that all elected officials should do, by working for the common good of the majority of her constituents, and for posterity,…
Our country needs to start having a conversation about the plight of incest victims and survivors. It is my opinion that these people suffer more deeply and profoundly than victims…
Our coral reefs are experiencing more bleaching events at a greater frequency. According to the U.S. National Ocean Service, when the oceans are too warm, this will cause coral bleaching,…
It’s easy to confuse local shelters with the national group. For years, the Humane Society of the United States has raised money off the good names of local pet shelters…
Above all, I support Commissioner Lachelt’s rational protection of our environment, and oppose external money influencing and manipulating local politics. I oppose Americans For Prosperity, a Koch brothers-funded group that…
Twice I have voted for Gwen because she shares my values on the importance of a clean and healthy environment. One of Gwen’s responsibilities as a county commissioner is as…
Senator Gardner, to my honest surprise and much applause, your response was an unqualified “Yes.” I can’t say how much I appreciated hearing that. Weighing heavy on my mind has…
Gwen Lachelt was elected by a majority of La Plata County residents in both 2012 and 2016. Agree or disagree with her, but acknowledge the democratic process that put her…
Time to exhale. Apparently the mode of politics in 2018 is to attack the process whenever one is momentarily unhappy with the result. Is that the right way to address…
One of the first targets of this out-of-state, anti-land use planning cabal is Gwen Lachelt, our twice-elected La Plata County Commissioner. Lachelt ran afoul of the Tea Party crowd when…
Yet it is these same people who now mount a recall against Commissioner Gwen Lachelt, duly elected in 2016 in a fair open election. Duly elected! And these people of…
