Why subsidize the NRC?(30)

Is anyone willing to show up on September 13 and ask why we should subsidize the NRC in this way, or what happened to make the subsidy necessary? Is the NRC willing to at least have open meetings and open books in exchange for the subsidy, or will they continue to operate in the back room?

Shared use areas – not the best option(12)

I enjoy riding motorcycles and snowmobiles – adrenaline-inducing activities – but I wouldn’t feel right about having a good time at the expense of others who are in the same outdoor rec area. I’d like to consider myself sensitive to everyone’s needs

Alliance Against Domestic Abuse Requests Old/Used Cell Phones(5)

Support AADA by donating your old cell phones-helping couldn’t get any easier!

Natural gas and fear tactics(19)

Last week in the New York Times an article titled “Gas Wells Recycle Water, but Toxic Risks Persist” was yet another example of the Fear campaign to scare people about the dangers of natural gas production.

More on “Salida homeowner ordered to remove structure”(0)

I’m writing this letter to provide information that most do not have, and, as your mission statement states, have “opinions based on misinformation”. I’ve followed this from the beginning because I built the building in question. Any points I make can be confirmed by review of the court transcript, filings, petitions, answers, orders, covenants etc.

Thanks to Hunter, O’Neill and HRRMC(0)

Only with the combined care of Dr. Hunter; our superb hospital; professional physical therapy and the Pilates Studio am I confident of a full recovery.

Letter from a medical marijuana card holder(3)

If registered patients can’t get their medicine from a licensed MMJ Center then the street becomes a viable option. Banning Centers or over-regulating the industry is not going to make marijuana go away. Marijuana is here to stay whether a few close minded people like it or not.

Thank you from Christo(23)

Thousands of you took the time to write supportive letters to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and others volunteered countless hours over the summer helping to share information about the project. Your support is deeply appreciated by Christo and the entire Over The River team.

Warm Dog Project

Warm Dog Project(1)

The dogs at Conour shelter are in dire need. My hope is that together we can raise the funds to ensure that dogs in their care will no longer sleep night after night outdoors in freezing temperatures.

Promoting an open and accountable government(1)

In the interest of promoting an open and accountable government the Chaffee County Republican Central Committee encourages the Chaffee County Commissioners to make information related to expenditures of public funds and government activities readily available and accessible to the residents of Chaffee County.

Gratitude to all the Salida Mountian Trails folks(8)

The engineering, the route, the technicalities, the scenery, the rocks, the trees, the sand. All perfect (if not a bit challenging on a rigid single speed). It just keeps going and going and going.
