  • Letter: Recall the Adams County Commissioners

    Editor:

    I would like to see a recall of all three Adams County Commissioners. The work they do is putting the future of the county and all of us citizens at risk.

  • LETTER: Still no vote, yet more taxes

    Editor:

    I believe it is fair and reasonable to question the integrity of any elected official who misuses and abuses their power to take money from its citizens without first asking permission.

  • LETTER: Disillusioned, disgusted by stormwater handling

    Editor:

    At the first meeting of the Adams County stormwater task force held May 22, we heard from Commissioner Chaz Tedesco, where he told us that the commissioners wanted to get our input to better fund the stormwater issue and would seriously consider our recommendations.

  • LETTER: Government growth? Greed? Recall?

    Editor,

    I recently attended a meeting at the county in which the commissioners were to decide the future of the infamous non-voter-approved ‘stormwater tax.’ The same tax, imposed in 2013 on all 27,500 unincorporated property owners, that is removing more than $2 million from our pockets and economy and placing it in the hands of government for two reasons:  

    Government growth and greed!

  • LETTER: Veteran benefits, resources remain critical

        Editor:
        As the honorable and memorable Veterans Day fades away and comes to a close, we continue to reflect on the jobs that current and past soldiers have provided. It is extraordinary what is asked of a solider. A solider pinned in a foxhole for hours, if not days, while having shots flying over his head, waiting for relief to come, requires a brave and elite individual. Their service and sacrifice should be rewarded and highly respected.

        Editor:
        In the Ward 4 runoff election, all of the important issues of economic development, growth, water, traffic congestion and other quality of life issues need to be addressed. Both of the candidates have experience and interest working on the issues.

  • LETTER: Hillman has it wrong on healthcare

        Editor:
        Mark Hillman’s column of Nov. 6 (What Obamacare means for rural Coloradans) was surprising at some of the assertions made, going so far as to imply that the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is the source of the information offered. That foundation conducts research into healthcare issues and has set a goal of all Americans being covered by 2020. They support the ACA, and I would encourage everyone to visit their website (www.rwjf.org) to learn more.

  • LETTER: Second chances

    Editor:
        I recently read an article referring to a survey stating that the majority of Americans feel we all should get second chances in life. I agree, and we do get a second chance in a runoff election to make your choice on who should represent you and your family on City Council for the next four years in Ward 4. We get that second chance on Dec. 3, 2013, and ballots will be mailed out this Friday, Nov. 15.

  • LETTER: Thanks to those who helped Brighton Shares the Harvest

       Editor,
        Brighton Shares The Harvest would like to extend a sincere thank you to the almost 200 people who attended our fundraising breakfast at Chili’s on October 19. This was our most successful fundraising activity ever, bringing in over $1700, money we will use to pay for some of our administrative expenses for 2014 (insurance, Chamber membership, etc) with some left over to support our programs to put more fresh produce on more tables in Brighton.
