I've always believed that Colorado is a place where individual thought and majority rule are highly valued. But lately, it seems like that may not be the case. In recent news stories, we see the Republican party struggling to remove a leader who is both unpopular and unethical. And on top of that, the governor has called for a special session of the legislature to address a controversial tax issue. Where do the people of Colorado have a say in any of this? Are we now living under minority rule?
It's enough to make you exclaim, "Heaven help us!" As Bonnie J. Allison from Lakewood puts it in a letter to the editor. It's disheartening to see our state's political landscape shift towards catering to the interests of a few, rather than the majority. But this is not the only issue causing concern among the people of Colorado.
In the sports world, there has been a recent rift between Post columnist Sean Keeler and Coach Deion Sanders. It all started with Keeler's biased and personal attacks on Coach Sanders in his columns. And as a result, Coach Prime and the CU football program have decided to revoke Keeler's access. As a loyal reader of The Denver Post, Bill Starks from Arvada expresses his support for Coach Sanders and the program, and applauds their first-year accomplishments. He believes that given time, they can restore the program to its former glory.
Moving on to another topic, we hear from Robert Wright, who has dedicated over 37 years to public service. As he approaches retirement, he had hoped for a secure and comfortable future. However, he now faces unexpected financial challenges due to the unfair impact of the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset. These reductions in his Social Security benefits have taken a toll on his financial stability, leaving him with far less than he had anticipated. He, along with many other public servants, calls for the elimination of these penalties through the Social Security Fairness Act.
Finally, Leroy M. Martinez from Denver voices his opinion on the size of wealthy people's homes. He believes that it's not our place to judge how they spend their money and that it's their prerogative to live in a larger home. After all, they wouldn't be living in our neighborhoods anyways.
