You are money-hungry and desperate to survive, placing advertisements all over the obituary page. You have no decent respect for your community as was proved by the fact that you…
Having recently attended three Broadway plays in New York City, I can attest that Broadway audiences applaud enthusiastically and spontaneously after a fine performance throughout the play. DHS’ ‘Les Mis’…
Equally as important, though, are protections for our local public lands. The backcountry has a certain therapeutic quality that played a crucial role in my reintegration back into society –…
The United States has nearly 10,000 taxing jurisdictions. Forcing compliance with arcane tax laws from 10,000 other municipalities would be crippling to any small business, online or otherwise. The bill…
There was a death summary I read in a Guatemalan newspaper, Nuestro Diario, on Nov. 24. It stated that 2,288 youths between 14 and 29 years of age were killed…
The plan for the cultural/science center is multifaceted. It would be the first river-front redevelopment in Durango open to the public for performances, galleries and education. The partners for the…
