The “Thin Mints Exception”

By Joseph Lekarczyk

In the interest of full disclosure, let it be known that the author of this article is married to the Mayor.

Thank goodness the Board of Trustees (BOT) decided to postpone their regularly scheduled November 19 meeting and public hearing on the 2013 Town budget until November 26, after the Thanksgiving holiday, to ensure that more citizens would be in town, and able to voice their feelings about how the Town’s tax revenues are spent. Oh, wait a minute, no one showed up at the public hearing anyway! Never mind.

Chose from jewelry, raggedy dolls, table runners, potholders, tree decorations, coasters, and more.

Colorado Agricultural Exports Important for State

By John T. Salazar, Commissioner of Agriculture

And these exports are growing rapidly, doubling since 2009 to $2.1 billion. I am excited about the continued growth of Colorado’s agricultural exports to international
