Letters To The Editor
Letter: Citizen says “thanks”
Meeker is such a great town to live in. I want to thank all the wonderful people who live here and have helped me out the last couple of months. So many people helped me with both incoming and outgoing packages before Christmas.
Letter writer stands by her opinion
With all due respect Mr. Hill, I believe my facts to be just that, facts. If the facts I presented are to be considered “propaganda,” then your facts are also considered “propaganda” as well. You and I are presenting two sides of this issue. My intent is to inform the[Read More…]
Letter: Rancher remembers when it was different
I read Patti Williams’ article on feral horses with interest. Having served on the Rio Blanco County Planning Commission and BLM’s Northwest Colorado Resource Advisory Board I have learned to listen to both sides before making a decision. So, it was with disappointment that I realized the author had not[Read More…]
Letter: Thanks extended to ladies of shelter
We would like to thank Cindy, Fern, Heidi and Vikki for all of your help with our problems while adopting our new cat. Rangely is fortunate to have such caring ladies at the Rangely Animal Shelter.
Letter: Reader offers different point of view

Letter: Debt must be addressed
Dear Editor: What has happened to our country? We owe other people and other countries more money than most of us can comprehend. One thousand billion dollars equals a trillion dollars. Our debt is 14 times one thousand billion dollars! And that doesn’t count the many trillions in unfunded liabilities[Read More…]
Letter: Where are the carriers?
This letter references numerous points in Steve Cohen’s article in Forbes of Oct. 25, 2010 entitled “Where Are The Carriers?,” which concerns the availability, value and number of U.S. aircraft carriers.
Letter: Gas prices: Why so high?
On Jan. 5, 2011, I went to a local station and a 10 cent increase! Where do they justify this? When the price per barrel goes down, we are lucky to see a penny decrease a week but they all sure do spike the price when the oil goes up.[Read More…]
