Re: “Homeless population growing, survey shows”
It's always a pleasure to see those who have make decisions about the lives of those who do not. Our city needs to take more time to discuss with those who are less fortunate about how to help them. It could be they do not want help, or they want help in a different manner.
Instead we try to pass laws to force them into shelters, that many do not want to be in for various reasons, and that is within their right. Or these same laws are used to force them out of sight, or place them into the industrial incarceration system.
Ask those who are homeless how they are treated, and you will see how they are treated.

Re: “Bach plays paperboy for Gazette”
Vote them out..We are going the worng direction. Bach is a prohibitionist, which is as backward as you can get. When one will not open their eyes, or lend their ears to the truth, how can you count on them to lead us in liberty, and help to create properity, and jobs?

Re: “Pot-shop limit is an option in Manitou Springs”
The governments in our cities need to relax, and allow for the recreational or medical marijuana shops. The same old prohibitionist mentality, which is driven by the fears instilled in us for years by the lies of our government, is keeping people from knowing and seeing the truth about marijuana.
Business will always be self limiting, based on consumer demand, and economics.
To Catherine, I say this, I love Manitou Springs. Manitou Speings should not worry about allowing marijuana retailers. The size, and space available in Manitou Springs will limit how many businesses, regardless of what they sell. I would also say, based on the polls being taken across our nation, that the majority will have no problem seeing a marijuana retailer.

I wonder if CSIndy will announce any events for the recall effort.

I sure hope little Stevie Bach's wife doesn't find out about his licentious affair with Phil Anschutz.

Re: “Pot-shop limit is an option in Manitou Springs”
Have to agree that the entire town of Manitou wouldn't be the same for the residents or visitors if there are no limits to pot shops - I prefer a mix and balance of businesses and visitors.

Re: “Homeless population growing, survey shows”
It makes sense that in a conservative and Chrisitan city, where generosity is a primary value, that there would be the services to support and thus attract more and more of those whose resources and hope are running on empty.

Re: “NRA is gunning for Morse”
Good...Morse is a large scale disaster and warrants a large scale solution removing him from public 'service'.

Re: “Bach plays paperboy for Gazette”
If someone handed me that rag of a paper I would firstly assume I would not be able to have an intelligent conversation with anyone in a town that depended on that as its news source.
Then I would actually just head straight for the counter to buy a one way ticket back out of town.
Not good for Bach to make a connection between himself in that half baked 'we don't have reporters in the budget' advertising circular.

Golly Pam, with all the favorable stories you write, why would the gazette need bother?

Re: “Parkside residents get handed the bill for repairs”
I've known Terry Rector for five years. He has represented my friends and a family member in legal matters, all that ended well. I would not ignore Terry's direction. I've never known him to plot against Parkside. If anything, he is willing to risk his personal comfort to make sure that the officers and directors don't repeat the mistakes of the past. Why would you not file a D & O claim against the Board to receive the funds necessary to offset the previous officers decision to fail to comply with Parkside covenants? If the officers truly can prove that they shopped for a master policy, then that would be encouraging. But their decision to disregard the covenants and then fail to change the by-laws eliminating the master policy insurance requirement is not appropriate. They were out of line on both counts. You individual owners and members of Parkside deserved to know BEFORE the fire that you didn't carry a master policy and that you needed to increase your coverage and protection through other means. If the D & O claim was shepherded properly, there might not be ANY special assessments for infrastructure repair. If the officers were not so unwilling to admit that they failed to carry out their obligations under the marching orders of the covenants, this piece would possibly be finished now. Terry says, it's not about digging up the past. It's about correcting a problem by utilizing the insurance in place to satisfy any and all special assessments and MOVING FORWARD. How many more special assessments will surface in the near future as these homes are brought toward completion? The moving target is going to be the Drainage piece in the reconstruction. It's a moving target and NO ONE can get their arms around those numbers right now. If a D & O claim is filed, will a board member here and there be sad about the discussion? Sure. But that comes with the territory of volunteerism and the price you pay to be the leader. People in authority make the best decision that they can under the circumstances and we go on. But we need to remedy the outcome of the decisions made. Insurance agent, Mr. Cobb's comments at the last meeting stated that this master policy of insurance was not practical, wouldn't cover the items that failed and is not affordable. What's sad is that he has made this determination public without backing it up with proof. A lot of people drank the friendly kool aid. Don't be misled. While the availability of the insurance is important to this discussion, the resistance from the board toward filing a D & O claim is not for the benefit of you lot owners in Parkside. It's to avoid the confrontation and the sadness. You don't have time for this. The one-year statute of limitations deadline for a claim against the D & O Coverage is 26 June. Don't waste time. Urge your HOA to file that D & O claim immediately or you will regret every dollar you pay toward the special assessments in the years to come. Thank you to the author of this article for not laying down on searching out the details. The public needs to know and you are a good steward.

Re: “Colorado Springs City Council to decide marijuana question”
If the mayor and city council think we will give them a pass if they vote to ban recreational marijuana shops in Colorado Springs, they are mistaken.
It is this kind of prohibitionist thinking that we are all working so hard to combat right now.
Marijuana is not a public safety issue...Prohibition is!

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
National polls (note the plural) indicate that 90% of respondents overall and 68% of NRA members support expanded background checks. The legislators in Colorado (unlike Congress) did the unimaginable - - listened to their constituents. What a concept!
