In oil, it would be drilling a “gusher” without leasing the land, or in poker, staying in the game with no chips and getting a royal flush! Colorado’s Department of…
I am going to pass judgement on the Herald’s lack of discretion in the recent article about the sad situation with the three young men and the young women that…

du1-i-syn Whether the additional revenue is justified, or not, is a separate issue. Attempting to raise it via increased property taxes is just plain unfair. Those requesting this increase need…

du1-i-syn The bill, HR 3990, guts the Antiquities Act of 1906 and undermines its intent and purpose. Among other egregious changes, HR 3990 would alter the Antiquities Act in the…

I would like to propose a simple solution that would be beneficial both financially and morally, and would easily resolve both issues. Rather than simply razing the homeless camps west…
As an adult male, I want to state in no uncertain terms that this signage is not only tasteless, but it is suggestive of a criminal act as well. In…
