Letter: Federal spending at unprecedented level c
The Obama Administration is spending our money at unprecedented levels and it is projected to continue for years into the future. Our annual federal deficit is approaching $1.5 trillion and will probably hit $2 trillion before long. Our national debt is projected to go from $14 trillion now to $25[Read More…]
Up and down el Rio Blanco: After all, it’s just a word
It’s just a word. It was supposed to be funny and in my mind, maybe add a little balance, something I strive for. But it’s not so funny when you have to explain it and that’s what I had to do the other day.
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: Reader offers different point of view
Dear Editor: After reading the article written by Ms. Patti Wiliams last week, I would like an opportunity to debunk her propaganda. The statements in her article were the most commonly spread talking points out of the pro-wildhorse groups. Fact: There are too many wild horses on the range and[Read More…]

Happy with the process

The steps taken to provide transparency by Chairman Phil Vaughn, and Secretary Audrey Danner were well[Read More…]
Up and down el Rio Blanco: Twins — Double the fun!
It’s exciting having two sets of twins pictured on the front page, possibly the oldest and youngest in Rio Blanco County. I’m glad we asked if Henry Bates Creecy was the first baby born in 2011 in Rio Blanco County, after putting him on the top of page one in[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…]
Up and down el Rio Blanco: Building a winning team
To me, sports are a lot like life. Although one doesn’t always win, it’s still a lot of fun to compete and be part of a team, something bigger than oneself. It was a two-sport day for me last Saturday as I traveled to Rangely in the morning to take[Read More…]
