Please, write your senators to start the process of evicting U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert from office for behavior unbecoming a Congressional member. Leslye Ann Wick Durango
Everyone is missing the point about Rep. Lauren Bobert and her recent behavior with a date inside a theater. The real story here is not her die-hard partisanship, her hypocritical…

I was greatly pleased with New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham’s wake-up call with her emergency public health order on carried firearms. I was also very pleased to see the statements…

Now that the Four Corners Motorcycle Rally has left town for another year, I am curious if the city, county and/or rally organizers can and will take any action to…
There have been problems with obtaining post-surgery care upon discharge from Mercy Hospital for Medicare patients. These patients are discharged far from the time they recover from surgery to sufficiently…
I have switched heating my home from natural gas to electric. Atmos Energy more than doubled its prices last year and the reasons are all facility-related. The increase of the…
Funny, how I have heard the left folks griping about the far right being represented in The Durango Herald. However, I don’t see any lawsuits coming from those leftists. I…

Last Sunday, I was dismayed by two items in The Durango Herald. Foremost, the front page and extensive coverage of a social worker losing her license was not necessary and…
This year, The Durango Herald’s editorials have opined on national political topics like the Fox/Dominion lawsuit, televising a Donald Trump trial, Trump’s tax returns, and the Supreme Court. I find…
