Letters To The Editor
Letter: Documentary on climate change
Dear Editor: For those of you gullible enough to believe in human caused global warming, please be “fair and balanced” and secure a copy of “Climate Hustle” from www.climatehustle.com an excellent documentary which supports the evidence that human consumption of carbon is not contributing to climate change including “warming.” The[Read More…]
Letter: Dinosaur is not the source of drug problems
Dear Editor: I was deeply troubled by the article “Rangely PD seeks to eliminate drug traffic.” If I understood correctly the article is stating that Rangely’s drug problems are all coming from Dinosaur.

Letter to the Editor: Praising Rangely’s generosity
Dear Editor: Living in a small town certainly has advantages. Most people know one another and go the extra mile to be helpful toward others. So, when I asked for donations for our Halloween party at Eagle Crest, I wasn’t surprised to have donations come in from: Kathy at Sweetbriar;[Read More…]

Letter: Support for Emily Tracy
Dear Editor: I will be voting for Emily Tracy for State Senate because she knows how important it is to give Colorado kids the tools they need to get ahead. For more than 20 years, she worked in child protection helping foster kids find stable homes and making sure they[Read More…]
Letter: Vote ‘no’ on 71
Dear Editor: Having grown up in a town with 1,500 people, in a rural area where I had 48 classmates in high school, I know something about rural vs. metro area issues. Now I’m a lawyer in Denver who started The Judicial Integrity Project because my profession isn’t behaving as[Read More…]
