Re: “Like the Balloon Classic? Better speak up”
The braintrust at CSPD would louse up a free lunch counter. Meanwhile, they can't get their heads out of their coffee cups to write red-light violations anywhere in the City. It's time for Carey and his band of loafers to hit the road. Little Stevie, are you listening?

Re: “Meet the man who shot Garden of the Gods”
As for arrest history, if you google Brandon you'll find a DUI in Kentucky (alcohol/drugs).
I too live within sight of his midnight shooting spree. Six patrol cars with officers armed with assault rifles were combing through our neighborhood.
Brandon, you kept neighbors up for hours and are only being let off easy because of your military service.
Responsible, you are not. Representative of the Army?, this is a mark against your military record.
It is advisable to seek support for your drinking/emotional issues. It would be the right and honorable thing to do.
Here's hoping for a peaceful night of rest.

Re: “Like the Balloon Classic? Better speak up”
There is no good reason for these new requirements by the CSPD, and the lack of intervention by Bach (and more distressing...the refusal of Bach of Carey to even sit and discuss this with Buchwald) demonstrates how inept, corrupt and out of touch this administration has become.
I'd like to say I'm shocked and surprised by this turn of events, but given Bachs track record to date, nothing surprises me. He has done virtually nothing to bring in more tourism (in fact, he drove away a major cycling event), hasn't done anything to promote business, and now is doing everything in his power to drive away one of this city's longest running events. Pro-tourism? Pro-business? Bach has proven that he is none of those things. When will it end?

How much money does the city make with the people that come into town and spend their money at the businesses in. This creates tax dollars that the city will not have. We waste the city on so many stupid things that do not bring income to the businesses and the city.

Re: “Like the Balloon Classic? Better speak up”
If the citizens do not help in this fight they will loose a Great event! As so many things disappear. Anyone remember when we had fireworks at Memorial Park or Palmer Lake? These are awesome family traditions going away! Business owners...you are needed too! This is income coming OUT of your pocket too! (ask Palmer Lake) Join The Colorado Balloon Classic and voice your opinion! Government forgets who they work for!

Re: “Meet the man who shot Garden of the Gods”
Sure. With that mindset he's a danger to the population. I was stationed at Carson and knew very well where it was legal to shoot and not legal. Certainly not at Garden of the Gods and not in the middle of the night. If the military lets him get off the hook, they are really messed up. There are homes near the area he was shooting in. And Ft. Carson has a range he can go to DURING THE DAY which is open to military and civilians. His story doesn't wash

Re: “Meet the man who shot Garden of the Gods”
ignorance beyond belief.as one of the residents awoken by ,in total,over 150 rounds at 3-4 am I was astonished to see this guy just turned loose by the cops. and according to one of the officers, and my observations, the guy had been drinking. with all his so called expertise, WTF!!! how could you possibly try to defend your actions with"I didn't know". even a shooting range at 3 am is ighorant. this was within 100 yards of MANY homes

Re: “Collecting delinquent child support a deadbeat effort in El Paso County”
My daughter's donor was there when she was being created, he had no problem "doing it", his original court order was for $183.00 + $100.00 in back support, so he pretended to be handicapped and got a doctor to sign the paperwork, he now is getting SSI and my child gets $60.00 per month. I work two jobs and still feel I should just make a sign and stand at a grocery store parking lot! If he or any other "donor" were a real parent they would care about the child they created. I am so sick of hearing about the poor deadbeat dads who make kids and walk away.

Re: “Morse recall effort gets some help”
Somebody LEAKED a VIDEO...Or somebody secretly recorded a private meeting?
I think the later is closer to the truth...
also you may want to start adding all the facts...Like who is bank rolling A Whole Lot of People for John Morse.
LeLait's organization, A Whole Lot of People for John Morse. That group is predominately funded by the America Votes Action Fund a super-PAC based in Washington that receives contributions from union groups and a conservation group.
So as you now see, there is big monies from both sides of the debate...
Also like Rob Harris....I ask "Not biased or anything are you Chet?"

Gosh Randi, "... so that people like you don't come back." doesn't sound very friendly to me. I guess you're just friendly to people you agree with.

This will clear the deck for Keith King to hire his buddy Tom Gallagher as Council Liaison.

Re: “As I recall ...”
Looks like Morse is toast...he needs to just resign now and save us the additional cost.
DENVER - Gun-rights activists have turned in petition signatures to set up the first recall of a state lawmaker in Colorado history.
The opponents of Democratic Senate President John Morse, of Colorado Springs, say they turned in twice as many signatures as needed Monday to put Morse back on the ballot.
Morse backed a series of gun-control measures signed into law earlier this year. He's become a national focus of efforts to push back against lawmakers from moderate districts who support ratcheting back gun rights. The Morse recall campaign attracted volunteers from other legislative districts and donations from across the country.
The Colorado Secretary of State has 15 business days to verify signatures.
Gun-rights activists are seeking to recall another Democrat, a senator from Pueblo. Signatures in that effort aren't due until next week.

Randi...GMF is a pit, sort of a third world experience from the early '60. Anyone who didn't drop out of school in Jr High springs for the extra gas and goes to Vail or Breck.

TejonTech, yeah, you're right, no reason at all to come to GMF (hiking, biking, friendly people, Bronc Days, lake, playground, history etc...) we should just keep GMF lame so that people like you don't come back.

Re: “Military and marijuana: The odd couple”
Well TT, regardless of your position on "pot" (I believe we all know yours) you have to admit, the legalization of cannabis in Colorado is fairly big news.
But, you are correct. Let's see some coverage of the White House lying about Benghazi, or the IRS scandal, or the Justice Dept. spying on news agencies.
The liberal press just doesn't want to say anything negative about liberals. Obama, Hillary, Holder and their mouthpiece Carney all get a pass.
