I have read that mountains are being dynamited into oblivion and that scarce and sacred water is drying up. Forty of my friends and colleagues have traveled to the site…
A few weeks ago we asked readers to tell us what issues they think are most significant for the shaping of our city and region. We appreciate the large number…
We entered the 2020 election as first-time independent candidates. We traveled the county for more than a year to meet voters and listen. We participated in person and online in…
I believe the date that every American should reach for in times of disagreement and crisis is 1787. This, and not 1776, was when the true and everlasting brilliance of…

She has displayed herself as a childish fool with her stupid tweets during the insurrection of our capital and blatantly displaying her Glock, strutting around the streets of Washington. She…
But I think that honor now goes to the 3rd district of Colorado. Are the honorable citizens of this district truly proud of their new representative? You probably think I…
Ordinary people suffer in wake of siege
Certainly, President Trump incited this insurgency. Those Republicans who support him and parroted his lies of voter fraud and that the election was stolen from him share blame. Those millions…
La Plata County and Durango, like most of the resort areas in the district, did not support Boebert in the election. Therefore, I would think Hopkins will not be traveling…
She has definitely shown her ignorance and is not there to work for the people of the 3rd District of Colorado. She’s only there to promote the QAnon ideology and…
The nature of real Americans that I have treasured for 70 years has nothing to do with the behavior exhibited by thugs led by an elected sociopath last week. My…
After the meeting, everyone went home for the weekend to pore over the agency’s pandemic plans, quarantining and isolation orders, communicable disease plans and other pertinent documents that previously had…
I am even more deeply disturbed, not to mention disgusted, that the newly elected representative from Colorado District 3, Lauren Boebert, chose this moment to display her naivety and ignorance…
Drought affects Colorado’s agriculture: crop yields are stunted, large-scale hay shortages occur, ranchers sell off livestock before maturity, irrigation reservoir and agriculture pond levels decrease or dry up completely. Drought…
Her words can only be interpreted as a call for violence and sedition. She and her supporters have already begun to backpedal and try to explain away her words. They…
I will use my power as a consumer to boycott travel to Durango and Grand Junction because I cannot support sedition and disregard for our democracy. Until she is recalled…
The House of Representatives, the Senate, and the presidency are now controlled by Democrats! Let us hope they can dig our country out of this mess and bring back respect,…
It wasn’t “a few” rioters who stormed and defaced our Captiol and threatened officials from both political parties and it wasn’t Antifa who caused the tragic deaths or who egged…
“Extremists have sought to advance a fringe ideology that paints the United States of America as fundamentally unjust and have sought to impose that ideology on Americans through violence and…
However, what started to be a special day in my life, turned into one of the very worst I could have ever expected. I have never had any respect for…
This so-called “case” of my brother’s death is a joke. The death certificate reads “homicide.” How can they say that they are waiting for an autopsy report on Dec. 29,…
There seem to be at least two realities here in Durango. If you are an Axis patient, you call and get your vaccine the next day. If you are a…
My people have a saying that applies to Rep. Boebert: Tanto que peca el que mata la vaca como el que detiene la pata. (The person who holds the legs…
Words matter, lies matter, and in this case, the lies about the election perpetrated by many Republicans matter and are the foundation of their sedition. Our Congressional representative, Lauren Boebert,…
Some seeing these words might think they were uttered within the riotous mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol to protest our legislative body’s constitutional responsibility. They were not. They were…
Attempting to disenfranchise millions of voters is undemocratic and unforgivable and should not be tolerated. Lauren Boebert should resign immediately. Being anti-democracy, living in an alternate reality and spewing conspiracy…
How do we know the election wasn’t fraudulent? None of the allegations of election misconduct have been upheld by state or federal courts; the Republican head of cybersecurity testified the…
The 25th Amendment is a health-related issue and it takes two-thirds of the House and the Senate to enact it; that would never happen, by any stretch of the imagination,…
