How to put a stop to reckless driving There is discussion about the dangers of driving in Boulder. Mostly a waste of breath and typing. People are injured and some die.
If we are serious about stopping the me me more more style of driving endangering people’s lives, there is a very simple solution. There are those who claim cameras violate privacy rights. We must be seen by human eyes.
If that is really the case, why are burglars arrested based on video? Install the cameras and increase the fines to $1,000.00 and loss of the car for 60 days. It will all stop within two weeks.
The punishment must fit the crime. When the crime endangers my grandchildren’s constitutional right to life my proposed punishment is a pittance. Put a stop to that behavior! Hal Osteen, Boulder Boulder has a lot to learn from Weld County The age-old competition between “tax and spend” and “downsizing government” was brought to light in a recent Camera article about our next-door neighbor, Weld County.
Under a lead photograph of their county motto (In God we Trust) the article highlighted a decrease in their assessed property values of 20% from last year to this year. Contrast that with a Boulder County increase of 35% and the huge increase in tax revenue as a result. Along with the state of Colorado’s wringing of hands over how to make ends meet with a suggestion to cut nearly $700,000,000 in funding from, among other things, Education because of a budget shortfall, perhaps Boulder County and state people might consider taking a visit to Weld county government and learn how they do it.
They might even get some ideas on how to fix our roads in such a tight market. Maybe talk with Weld County commissioner, Kevin Ross, who, the article states, “isn’t worried about the overall drop, adding it should have no impact on Weld residents.” He added, “Weld County is extremely strong and vibrant; this happens all of the time, and I don’t think residents are going to see a change.
...
We don’t take more than we need, we only take as much as we need to run the county.” Gov. Polis might also want to consider a new state department, DOGE.
What a breath of fresh air that might bring. Stan Nicholas, Longmont We are lovable because God loves us Sometimes an articulate apostate reminds you of a neglected Christmas truth. Fintan Steele’s heterodox description of the Incarnation as “a god who holds his nose to assume human form” reminds this believer that God does not love us because we are lovable.
We are lovable because God loves us. Alan Wostenberg, Boulder.
