Frank Moe: Deja vu all over again

Déjà vu – 252

How many of us remember the misleading Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act, House Bill 10-1365? That bill was created behind closed doors, conceived in deceit, conspired on by then-Gov. Bill Ritter and his administration and thrust upon us with hardly any time to react. Now, nearly three years later, we are experiencing deja vu in the recently introduced Senate Bill 13-252.

John Williams: Now is the time to act

While everyone is still reeling from the onslaught against their loss of liberty and the stomping on our constitutional rights by the Colorado Legislature, now is the time to act. If you are not a member of the National Rifle Association and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, now is the time.

Lois Stoffle: Why I volunteer

Rep. Bob Rankin: I will vote 'no' on renewable energy standard proposed in legislature

The problems of SB13-252 are too numerous to detail. But legislation of this significance should never be introduced too late in the session for serious consideration and debate. SB13-252 is a rush to judgment by environmental radicals and the Democratic leadership in the legislature without thoughtful consideration of the impact on rural Colorado.

Lance Scranton: The science of fiction

Science fiction class is a great venue for students to work out some of their deeper sociological and anthropological thoughts. It isn’t difficult to get an opinion from a teenager, but it is more challenging to have them think their opinion through to its logical conclusion.
