We found out last week from city of Boulder officials that the ongoing cleanup at Valmont Butte that BW devoted a 10-part series and 38,000 words to last year has been delayed — again.

We love it that local mothers came out of the woodwork on May 13, the day after Mother’s Day, to give our all-female county commissioners an earful about fracking.

It was another one of those moments that scare the heck out of taxpayers. You know the kind, like the city can’t find $9,000 to put in a groundwater monitoring well below the Valmont dike dam to protect public health, but they can happily keep finding millions of dollars for the cost overruns occurring on the other side of the dam where all the waste is buried.

Ask a random Comcast customer for horror stories and you’ll get an earful about constantly rising rates, unnecessary fees and unresponsive customer service. But since U.S.

We have to agree with those who are calling for a final vote of Boulder residents on the municipalization question, before the city moves ahead with it.

To be honest, we were afraid that the debate might turn out to be more of a conversation among friends who just sort of disagree on a few things. We were worried for no reason. Elise Jones kicked the governor’s butt.

Apparently, state officials believe that counties, cities and even school districts have the right to be reimbursed when something of value is taken from them, whether it’s their health or the natural gas under their feet.

It was almost amusing to see Boulder City Council members suddenly get up tight about appointing former councilmember Crystal Gray to the city Planning Board.

We love how University of Colorado officials are still using the same old excuse they used last year for attempting to shut down the campus during the 4/20 marijuana protest.
