Letters To The Editor
Letter: False picture of fellow commissioner
Dear Editor:I’m writing in response to a combination of several articles and letters to the editor that have unfortunately given a false picture of the intentions of my fellow commissioner Gary Moyer. I have said it before, but want to reiterate that the difficult decisions that we as a board[Read More…]
Letter: Commissioner Recall
Dear Editor: As the recall petition for Commissioner Gary Moyer moves forward, I just hope that people really think it through before they sign. There are details that you may not know so are only getting half of the story as many of the issues involve personnel, due to legal[Read More…]
Letter: Recall election just another liberal scam
Dear Editor: I, as well as many other individuals, find it funny, in that “WE” live in a county that votes 80% republican in local, state, and national elections would run a recall petition on someone who has stood for these values all along. I bet that the most of[Read More…]
Letter: Concerns about recall skyrocket
*Editor’s Note: The quoted material in this letter is taken directly from the circulating recall petition, as referenced in the March 4, 2021 HT article, “What happens during a recall?“ Dear Editor: I am writing regarding the official recall of one of our commissioners.

Letter: My Opinions
Dear Editor: This is in response to comments posted in the local newspaper. Every year family and friends of cattle ranchers in the spring gather together to brand, castrate (male calves) and vaccinate thousands of calves. Without any complaining, finger pointing, paperwork, ( I had to fill out a lot[Read More…]
Letter: Moderna and vaccine doubters

Letter: Infection outbreaks
Dear Editor:Recent actions by our Board of County Commissioners and their attorney apparently intend to suppress accurate reporting of public health data. Certainly it is important to protect individual health records (and those protections have been followed), but there are very good reasons for timely and accurate disclosure of infection[Read More…]
Letter: Bullying and anger
Dear Editor:When did bullying and anger become our new normal? As adults we are now acting like teenage bullies to anyone that doesn’t agree with us regardless of their age. It’s now ok for an adult to ridicule and say derogatory remarks to a group of youths because their masks[Read More…]
Letter: The hows of recall
Dear Editor:I am writing this letter to explain why, after prayerful consideration, I am carrying petitions for recall: not because of the “whys” but the “hows” Commissioners have a lot of power, and are, more importantly, public servants, serving those who have entrusted power to them to do what is[Read More…]
Letter to the Editor: To Polis
Dear Editor: This letter is to Governor Polis. My name is Abigail Morgan. I am a senior studying environmental science at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado. I was born and raised in Colorado; specifically, in the town of Meeker. I am writing to let you know that you[Read More…]
Letter to the Editor: Recall Moyer
Dear Editor: As I stated last week, I’m heading up a recall to remove Gary Moyer from the Rio Blanco County Board of Commissioners. In my opinion, in the two years he’s been in office, he’s abused the power of his position and does not represent the values of the[Read More…]
