Dear Editor: To the 40- to 50-year-old Rio Blanco “oldtimers.” I’m no longer shocked or dismayed by the sheer lack of knowledge or understanding of heritage and history displayed in other parts of our great country, but continue to wonder how that attitude of disdain has permeated the 40-50 age[Read More…]

Miles family thanks first responders, PMC

Letter to the Editor: Charging stations won’t be very helpful
Dear Editor: It is a very fraught thing to say you are going to provide charging stations for electric cars. Do you think WREA or even you understand that every darn electric car needs its own charging plug? That’s right, every manufacturer has their very own plug requirements. I wonder[Read More…]
Letter to the Editor: Let’s talk codes
Dear Editor: Codes are the product of or the outcome of circumstance. For example, people died in a basement fire; there was no way for them to get out, so for safety let’s put in egress windows. Perhaps people have stumbled on a staircase time and again, why? One rise[Read More…]
Letter to the Editor: Section 19 of HB-1278 opposed by Unity Party
Dear Editor: Colorado’s General Assembly has rushed through House Bill 1278, which makes “miscellaneous” changes to Colorado election law. It vastly increases the number of petition signatures required to place independent and minor party candidates on Colorado’s ballot.
Letter: Thanks for clean up assistance
Dear Editor: A big thank you to all the folks that took time out this past weekend who helped with the trash clean up effort in Meeker along the river and city park. A clean and healthy river frontage reflects well on the our community and allows visitors the opportunity[Read More…]
Letter to the Editor: Thank you to all who helped bring awareness campaign to county
Dear Editor: When the Rio Blanco County Farm Bureau Association Board voted to pursue scheduling the human trafficking trailer for presentations in the county, the biggest obstacle we faced was funding.

Dear Editor: Since White River Electric Association is clearly swimming in cash, I would like to ask them how much we can expect our electric rates to decrease in January?
Letter to the Editor: It’s a reappraisal year for property values
Dear Editor: To all Rio Blanco County property owners, as required by the Colorado Revised Statutes, 2019 is a reappraisal year. Therefore, all properties within the boundary of Rio Blanco County have been revalued. Market sales, business income, and/or appraisal data for an 18-month period, Jan. 1, 2017 to June[Read More…]
Letter: Say no to wolves
Dear Editor: I just read a survey on the internet sponsored by a group called “Lake Research Partners” and “New Bridge Strategy” that claim that “two-thirds of Colorado’s voters favor restoring wolves in Western Colorado.” I am appalled that two-thirds of Colorado’s population is that irresponsible and emotionally ignorant of[Read More…]
