Re: “Putting the 'tea' in trouble”
Yes Siggie, my post was in jest. IRS profiling and discrimination of any kind should never be tolerated.
But while we're at it..."I believe it is the systematic denial of "tax-free" status."
Actually "systematic denial" is somewhat of a misnomer. Of the 97 "conservative" groups whose applications for tax exempt status were delayed by the IRS, zero were actually denied. Of the 3 "liberal" groups whose applications for tax exempt status were delayed during the same time period, all three were denied.

Re: “Bach says teens who smoke pot may lose their memory forever”
mayor Bach should be more worried about what kind of pollution is wandering around in the area he wants to make into something. Benzene and such are far more dangerous to health (and memory) that a little Colorado Sinsemilla.

Eye-opening and a great interview. I respect Josh Fox for what he's doing. Keep up the good work!

Anyone But Hickenlooper is my bumper sticker...right next to my Impeach Obama bumper sticker, which is right next to my "My Pit-bull can chew your honor student's butt" bumper sticker.

Re: “Bach mum on road closing”
Firstly, men dying their hair is plain silly and looks like they can't handle the truth about themselves.
I bet there are people living up above that road who don't like this plan.
But Bach is bought...and Anshutz, when he finishes paying off Michael Jackson's mother for killing her son, will still have the money left to force this issue.

Re: “Indy demands severance contracts from city”
Thank you Indy for looking into this.
People in the private sector are given sick days to say we understand you might get sick, so don't freak out when you can't come to work because you have the flu, and as a matter of fact don't come in and infect the rest of us.
If they don't need to use their sick days, they don't get a bonus, they are simply lucky not to have been sick...and it certainly doesn't roll over into a $50,000 windfall by accumulating year after year.
This is the worst case of government disregard for the struggle of tax payers, and the worst use of our money of which our government claims never to have enough I have ever seen.
I am offended and have lost all respect for local government and its employees...they are stealing us blind. Nothing but a bunch of thieves from top to bottom. They have shamed themselves and their work.
As top republican leaders in town are saying, it didn't take long for reformer Bach to get sucked into the system and become offender Bach.

Re: “Bach mum on road closing”
Rod - I'm color blind so I don't know what unnatural color is.
I suspect "your guy" looked a lot better than "my boy" during the election, for you and too few others anyway. Other than his "Refer Madness" stance on cannabis, I think he is performing reasonably well. Don't forget his 70% approval rating (outside of Indy readership anyway).

Re: “Indy demands severance contracts from city”
BS Kirk,. it represented the truth. The hypocrisy and duplicity of the loony left never ceases to amaze. Perhaps you should censor all of the "personal attack" articles written about Mayor Bach (or anyone conservative) since you are now into censorship.

Re: “Bach says teens who smoke pot may lose their memory forever”
Hi Jarred,
Thanks for commenting. It would have been nice to have a response from the city in the actual story, but this will have to do.
Those other quotes you cited include qualifiers about side effects from use over time. Our mayor said all teens who partake "are at risk of losing their memory for life." It's unknown whether or not he meant instantly, upon first puff, but either way: No, they're not.

Re: “Indy demands severance contracts from city”
Siggie,
As mentioned in my email to you earlier today, I removed your comment because it constituted a personal attack, which is against our comments policy. (You can read that policy here: http://www.csindy.com/coloradosprings/User…)

Re: “Bach mum on road closing”
Yeah, Siggie, my guy looks a hell of a lot better than your boy these days. At least he doesn't dye his hair an unnatural color.

Re: “Star Bar delves into the character and conscience of A Streetcar Named Desire”
I should clarify that I said 'the concept of Blanche's journey is OFTEN treated un-gently'. I've also seen it done beautifully. Don't want anyone thinking I've hated every production of this I've ever seen. Who knows, too, whether we'll succeed at it; we can only try.

Re: “Ballpark: There's a better way”
I oppose a downtown stadium. If successful in terms of attendance and use for activities other than baseball, it will snarl traffic to an even greater degree than the poorly-engineered series of curves on I-25 do now. We just experienced our largest good-weather pile-up of 10-12 cars last week in broad blue-sky daylight. A stadium like that should remain a destination out yonder. We need boosts to the economy of the city and you do that by attracting lots of new businesses, not by relocating one barely-thriving special interest business, national past-time notwithstanding. Stop re-arranging deck chairs, please.

Re: “Recalling a past public-safety sham, Josh Fox returns to the fracking fracas”
"And it's a stand-and-be-counted moment. For the president, for all the other elected officials that are involved in this debate, I urge them, please, we are here to work with you, we want you to work with the people. And not with the fossil-fuel industries who had their way with so many at such great expense. These are human rights issues. These are issues of democracy, and that's what the new film speaks to." Well said Josh. Meanwhile there are a number of us trying to sit down with city council members to offer solutions in the form of robust and strict regulations that have been adopted by other communities. Many of these groups will be present at the screening. Please reach out to us and get involved so your voice can be heard!

Pam, I don't see my post written just a shade after 9:00 this a.m. Are you that insecure?

Re: “Putting the 'tea' in trouble”
Good line Bill, but we both know that is not the reason they were singled out. And, I don't believe an "investigation" is the subject. I believe it is the systematic denial of "tax-free" status, if any organization was conservative or spoke out against Obama. I know you posted in jest. Otherwise I would have to ask, are you in favor of discrimination, of any kind?

Re: “Putting the 'tea' in trouble”
You all reali8ze the only groups denied in Cenncinnati were all progressive groups. All three of them? The horror of actually having to back up your social welfare bonfides must be really rought for some.
