Re: “Generation Debt”
I am simply stunned. Mr. K finally put forth a post that makes absolute good sense.
I might add that one should select a (four year) college or university that one can afford. We all can't go to Harvard or CU for that matter.

Re: “Burbach, city break from state drug lab”
Regarding "Shouldn't a failure to gain accreditation indicate a need for new leadership?"
Answer: No. ABFT accreditation by forensic toxicology labs is not required in the state or the USA.
Thanks for sharing the joke, Mr. K!
Appears to apply to disbarred attorney's, too.

If they ignore the will of the voters, they can face the wrath of the voters next election.

Re: “Bach slams gov for signing fire fighter bill”
That is because Bach vetoed the fire department last summer and screwed over 356 families.

Re: “Bach slams gov for signing fire fighter bill”
That Mayor Bach doesn't fully grasp what SB25 says should surprise no one. That he shoots off his mouth with little knowledge of the facts should surprise no one. This has been Bach's way of governing since he (regrettably) took office.
He says he respects firefighters...well if that's true, he should not be the least bit upset by this law. In fact, it does nothing that isn't already being done in Colorado Springs. So why is Bach upset? My guess is that he's upset only because his staff (and contributors) told him to be upset.

Re: “Generation Debt”
I recommend to anyone who cannot afford a college education, find a low-skilled job first, and use what money you can save above and beyond living costs, to take no more than one or two courses per session. There is no law that says you must finish college in four years. You will find you will move up in the job world as you move along through the university and wind up on graduation with actual experience on your resume, which means better prospects than the four-year graduate--and no debt to pay off.

Re: “Burbach, city break from state drug lab”
There is an old joke among lawyers: If you have the facts on your side, argue the facts; if you do not have the facts on your side, argue the merits; and if you do not have the facts or the merits on your side, argue like hell!

Re: “One outsider's intrepid move into dining plant-based in the Pikes Peak region”
Golly Ellen, spoken like a true whack-job liberal. In your narrow little mind, one is either a vegan or a heart attack. I'll put my health up against yours and Miz Fields and come out on top. Want to wager? The only thing the vegans have right is single source foods.
The path to health is through moderation in what one ingests and EXERCISE not radically drastic lifestyles.

Re: “Fillmore fold-in, a market mobile and Colorado craft”
Thanks for the tip on Ranch food direct, went today and had an awesome bacon cheeseburger, with home made fries (cooked in beef talo) and a drink all for $6 even. Drive past Carl's, McDs, BK, Arbys, Taco Bell, and all the rest to this place.

Re: “City: We're all about transparency”
Other than your slam against Christian ministries, a little of which might make you a nicer person, or at least calm your anxious heart about your eternal destiny, I would agree with you.

Re: “City: We're all about transparency”
Guess what Techie, our town CAN'T handle the basics, that's why so few firms consider this city as a place to do business, and is one reason some left. Whether that's good or bad depends on one's point of view.
You can bet that Mayor Botch and his developer pals have a lustful heart for the growth that comes from big-name corporate investment, but for that growth to show its face here there has to be better infrastructure (which costs MONEY) and a climate that's good for something besides money-grubbing bible-waving organizations. TABOR is our death dirge.
We also need a congress person who's not the laughing stock of the government, and trust me, it takes massive stupidity to be the laughing stock of our elected national joke.
Back to transparency, big investors see NO transparency in how Mayor Botch has fired all the key city personnel and hid behind typical mealy mouth gobbledegook about contract privacy, yadda yadda. Throw in Rep Lamebrain in congress, crazy man Tom Tancredo as a possible Governor or Senator, plus Sean the haircut Paige pimping a Koch Bros agenda via AFP, and the national business community just looks at this city and laughs its ass off.
Transparency? Yes, big money sees right through our BS conservative lies and facades.

Re: “Burbach, city break from state drug lab”
This line from one of the prior posters says it all: "...Ms. Burbach's laboratory was denied accreditation by the American Board of Forensic Toxicology ... "
How bad does a lab have to be for it to be denied accreditation?
Shouldn't a failure to gain accreditation indicate a need for new leadership?

Re: “Burbach, city break from state drug lab”
Following a simple Google Search on the poster "Coloradowrits" (Coloradowrits = Vincent Todd).
and a simple Google search on "Disciplinary Actions by the Colorado Bar Association against Vincent Todd":
Readers can learn more:
"Following a Reinstatement Hearing pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.29, a Hearing
Board denied a petition for reinstatement filed by Vincent C. Todd (Attorney
Registration No. 12955), on August 9, 2006. The Colorado Supreme Court
affirmed the Hearing Board’s decision on June 28, 2007. The Hearing Board
found that Petitioner failed to provide clear and convincing evidence of
rehabilitation from the conduct that led to his suspension as required by
C.R.C.P. 251.29."

Re: “Generation Debt”
It's very sad that today in most occasions higher education is impossible without getting in debt. College is almost a luxury today and that’s why lots of young people take out loans and get in debt to get a college degree. I think that college education is very important, it’s a worthy investment because people with college degree have more career opportunities. But on the other hand, college degree isn’t a guarantee of a wealthy life. In case you have a student loan debt you’ll spend your best years to pay it off. Many graduates work below their skills and use http://northenloans.ca/short-term-loans.ht… to make payments on their student loans.

Re: “Pentagon says it 'wouldn't think' marijuana will hurt Colorado Springs bases”
TT: when you make the ridiculously slanderous statement "... they are all drunks and wife beaters..." were you referring to City Council, the Pentagon, the retired generals or just everyone else excluding you?
Not a very bright (or Christian) thing to say, wouldn't you agree?
