Proponents for the 32nd Street bridge might want to find better arguments
The information must be disclosed by law and furnished by the office of the secretary of state. You can see why this is important. Even if one is agnostic about…
Many may think this statement is overstating reality; it is not. The Republicans allowed a fascist into their midst and he has destroyed their party. Thus it has become exceedingly…
“When the governmental structure for the new country that would call itself the United States of America was proposed, that country’s founders based that government on the idea of a…
Some say this was “childish.” Some say it was the behavior of “a sore loser.” Some say that it was counter-productive: that it only emphasized that the Democrats pursued a…
Increasing bear numbers are part of the problem of fewer calves surviving. Add wolves to that equation and what happens to the elk that are left? Blaming hunters for a…
Nonlethal methods include ranchers having: “livestock guard dogs to alert flock attendants; radio-activated alarm systems to scare wolves away” – and livestock too? – “temporary electrified corrals to protect sheep…
Years ago there used to be about 12 states identified as battleground or swing states; states where either a Republican or Democratic presidential candidate could win. Unfortunately, in recent elections,…
Many “letters” are one-sided, factless rants that belong in the Opinion section, clearly identified as such. There are already outlets for long-winded, hate-spewing, politically oriented nonsense, and they go by…
Of course, the Rec Center is now the crown jewel of Durango amenities. Those opponents were wrong then and opponents of the 32nd Street trail bridge are wrong now. Opponents…
The cost is astronomical while providing little benefit. My neighbor, Janet Wiley, in her Feb. 5 letter (“Bridge has been 15 years in planning”) mistakenly compares the “controversy” surrounding this…
We have tried to make plain for some time now that we would like to see the 9-R school district end the practice of lunch shaming, whereby students whose parents…
You helped to solve a mystery for me. I had previously researched Tipton’s campaign contributions and found the large donations from banking, finance and real estate sectors, much of which…
Do we use the money for a controversial bridge, which many oppose, or do we buy Buckley Park from the 9-R school district, thus preserving a bit of urban open…

This statement, published in 1882, is as meaningful today as it was then. I think back to 1996, my first year to volunteer with Hospice of Mercy, and the importance…

Our once beautiful historic East Third Avenue and surrounding neighborhoods are deteriorating. While there are some lovely, stately properties, there are more homes in sad disrepair. Many of our neighbors…
Fix 32nd Street – it needs to be upgraded to get a new street and a sidewalk. It is one of the most dangerous streets in Durango. Cars speed down…
