Re: “Study shows nonprofits carry some financial heft”
Let's go ahead and get political about it tech. Liberals dream up schemes for conservatives to spend their money so they think they did there part. They are too cheap (not to mention hypocritical) to give themselves.
They don't like it when it is pointed out either. You made a statement of fact and, so far, I see 9 dislikes and 0 likes.

Re: “Study shows nonprofits carry some financial heft”
What a strange statement from Mr Holmes...all the studies show it is the conservatives who are the most generous. Without getting political about it, it is simply a proven fact that conservatives actually give more to charities than do liberals, and Christians give more than secularists.

Re: “El Paso County’s sheriff attracts cheers and jeers for his posturing on gun control”
The important and ignored point in this entire discussion is that all these laws will do nothing to stop the crimes we all want to stop...it is show boating at the expense of freedom and the only result our inconvenience, like taking our shoes off at the airport accomplishing nothing.
Criminals will do as they please and buy in the way they do everything from cocaine to guns. And while the police are busy assuring target shooters don't have an oversized clip, criminals will be murdering, and mad men will be on their killing sprees.
Come on folks...we are all smarter than this.

Re: “Secret pensions at Memorial Health System?”
Good grief! how many major decisions have been made by city council the last 6+ years without knowing or understanding all the facts (i.e., the USOC debacle for one). Once the city found out that it couldn't sell Memorial outright and pocket the funds to do whatever they wanted with it (i.e., hopefully for capital improvements) then the whole process of leasing it should have just been stopped. What a mess!!!

Re: “Oil change possible at Banning Lewis Ranch”
"The city needs to buy 25 acres for a pump station, 29 acres for a permanent easement for the 66-inch pipeline, and 32 acres for a temporary construction easement."
If Ultra doesn't want to play ball and sell the land to the city (for a reasonable price), the city should just say to them - "heh, Ultra, you ever heard of eminent domain".
This land was annexed into the city so I think this would be quite legal to do.

Re: “Cliff dive”
Part of my contracting and restoration Colorado Springs company would've been on this if it had been approved. I like business, but at the same time, I'm kind of glad it didn't go through.

Most would say that yes the magazine thing is kind of a over reach. I will say that I bet if these Sheriff's find they can use these laws for a conviction they will enforce them.

Re: “Secret pensions at Memorial Health System?”
This is a scam. There are still several people working at Memorial right now who knew of these payments. People who knew of and signed off on these payments until the UCH takeover.
There are also still people working at Memorial right now who haven't retired yet, but were in on this deal, counting on the secret payments when they retire.
Will there be any accountability for those who knew but kept the secret? Pam, can you find out if there are any on the list who have not yet retired, yet will receive money from this accounting?

Re: “Changes likely in Colorado Springs' paychecks”
So am I underpaid compared to my production, but I actually do the work unlike the police who are pretty much an entrapment squad.

Re: “Run it by me, says Maketa”
TejonTech: it never ceases to amaze and amuse me that so many conservatives yammer about 'Thuh Constuhtooshun' without understanding AT ALL what it means to uphold and defend it. What you call 'taking one aspect of something and stringing it out of balance' actually means 'arguing specific points of law'. When our rights are being violated, it's proper to examine the particulars of those violations. Of course, your notion that college ruins our children is enough to make my point for me about the manner by which you form your worldview.

Re: “Maketa wants investigation of Dems”
Personally I wished the other day that all of the wanna be a coloradians that now run our state would find a cure for their cally-tex disease and go back to where ever it is they moved here from. i'm getting tired of the dems and repubs from both of the states that have ingrained their way along the entire front range and decided that they should be allowed to turn their private agendas into laws here just because they have the cash to buy their way into office. pitty the poor colorado native that didn't leave the state after high school and by the way who invited these people here in the first place..why is it that texas and california money thinks that they should be the only ones in charge where ever they end up and run for office.....

Re: “Local businessman tries to increase the heat on Tim Leigh”
I see the Tim Leigh trolls are on. Can not face the facts that Tim Leigh is unethical and will be found so by the ethics committee unless the mayor and melcher pressure them to find Leigh not guilty.

Re: “Study shows nonprofits carry some financial heft”
Siggie...I heard it was so cold in Washington the other day that the liberals had their hands in their own pockets.
Obama has made a career out of developing hate for those who have by those who have not...promising a redistribution of wealth.
What would help is the development of personal responsibility for one's own food, shelter, health care , children, and retirement.
