Have you noticed the recent news stories about Colorado's political landscape? It seems that the state may no longer be a place where the majority rules. This raises the question: does the minority now hold the power in our state?
I used to believe that Colorado was a place where free thinking and majority rule were valued. However, recent events have made me question this. For one, the Republican party seems unable to remove an unpopular and unethical leader. And now, the governor has called for a special session of the legislature to address a controversial tax issue. But where do the residents of Colorado fit into all of this? Do we still have a voice in the decisions that affect our state, or are we at the mercy of the minority?
As a resident of Lakewood, I am deeply concerned about the direction our state is heading in. It's disheartening to see our politicians prioritize the interests of a few over the majority of the population. It's time for us to speak up and demand that our voices be heard. Otherwise, we may find ourselves living in a state where the minority rule prevails.
Moving on to a different topic, I want to share my thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding CU football coach Deion Sanders and Denver Post columnist Sean Keeler. As someone who avidly reads the sports section of the newspaper, I was shocked by the negative and personal bias displayed by Keeler towards Coach Sanders. His recent column, which resulted in Coach Sanders revoking Keeler's access, was filled with personal attacks and defamatory language. Being a journalist does not give one the right to attack others in such a manner.
Furthermore, Keeler's expectations for Coach Sanders and the CU football program seem unrealistic and out of line. As a fan of the Buffaloes, I am proud of their first-year accomplishments and believe that with time, they can turn the program around. I stand with Coach Sanders and the CU football program in their decision to revoke Keeler's access.
On a more personal note, I want to share my concerns about the impact of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) on my retirement. After dedicating over 37 years to a public service career, I have always hoped for a secure and comfortable future. However, the unfair reduction of my Social Security benefits due to the WEP and GPO has left me facing unexpected financial challenges. It's disheartening to see my contributions as a public servant go unrecognized and undervalued.
I believe the Social Security Fairness Act presents a solution to this issue. By eliminating the WEP and GPO, it would ensure that individuals like myself, who have paid into both Social Security and their pension systems, receive fair treatment and financial security in our retirement.
Lastly, I want to address a recent letter to the editor about rich people and their homes. While the writer expressed concern about the environmental impact of large homes, I believe it's important to remember that it's their money and their choice. We cannot dictate how someone chooses to live their life, regardless of their wealth. Let's focus on more pressing issues and not worry about how others choose to spend their money.
In conclusion, as a reader of The Denver Post, I urge everyone to use their voice and speak up about issues that matter to us. Let's strive to create a state and a society where the majority rule and everyone's contributions are valued and recognized.
