  • No transparency for stormwater group

        Editor:
        On Monday, April 30, a group of hard-working citizens converged on the county building for public comment regarding stormwater pollution. They were brought together by a shady organization called Stop Stormwater Utility Assoc iation (SSUA).
        This organization does not appear on the Secretary of State’s web site, although they are raising money and engaging in political activity.

  • New gun ban won’t work

        Dear Politicians:
        As you consider pending legislation in response to the recent tragedies at Aurora and Newtown, please keep the following thoughts in mind.
        Reinstating the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban would be a mistake. It didn’t work last time, why would anyone think it will work this time?
        There were nearly twice as many mass killings while the ban was in effect than after it expired.

  • Time is short to have voice heard on gun range debate

        Firestone residents….are you aware?
        Are you aware of a flagpole annexation application currently submitted to Firestone asking for 900 acres to be annexed into your town?
        Are you aware that this property is north of Highway 66 at County Road 17 and is about six miles from your city center on Grant Avenue?
        Are you aware that the development plans for this property are a covered — not indoor — and outdoor firing range with up to 150 shooting stations?

  • Dear Weld Re-8 voters

        We know for a lot of our families these are still very challenging times, and for you to vote “Yes” on both 3A and 3B took a lot of courage and faith in our board, administration, staff and students.
         This has truly been a community effort and we have so many people to thank. From the members of the Fort Lupton Education Association to the BEST for US! Committee to our individual citizens, thank you for believing in our children and schools.

  • Thinking big

    Editor:
        As I have been contemplating in recent weeks on whether or not to write a letter in support of the SVVSD ballot measure 3A, I asked myself, the following question: Isn’t it time to pass the torch to families that have younger children in the school system?
        My wife and I have been very involved in the growth of our school system for 12-plus years and are now at the end of our emotional connection to the school district with our kids in high school ready to graduate and move on to their next chapter.
