I was taken aback when I read the city council gave the go-ahead for the ice rink/pool complex to proceed as a ballot issue.

My name is Linda Gordon and I’m a homeowner in unincorporated Boulder County that is finally getting absorbed into the city of Longmont. Rogers Road runs east and west from Hover Street to Airport Rd.

But last month Impact: Longmont told us that that one way for Colorado to achieve the 53% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions it needs by the year 2030 involves reducing total vehicle tailpipe emissions by 1/3.

The debate over rent control in Longmont is beginning to brew, as city council candidates such as myself, my opponent Schuyler Trowbridge and Ward III candidate Susie-Hidalgo Fahring all express more openness to the concept than the current city council.

When the citizens of Rogers Road appealed the Longmont Planning & Zoning Commission approval of the HMS Mountain Brook development on Rogers Road, we were delighted that the City Council voted to send the plat back to planning with conditions for the transportation, drainage, and wildlife reports to be completed, and until FAA approval is received to build so close to a runway approach.

The new Amazon Prime show, Good Omens, is in the news as a new low for the cancel culture but should be in the news for its contemporary positive message to humankind.

Take House Bill 1261, "Climate Action Bill to Reduce Pollution." It is an aspirational bill, setting goals to reduce Colorado's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but not specifying how it will be done.

As organizer of Stand With Our St. Vrain Creek I wish to clarify our groups position on development which has lately been mischaracterized.

A recent study of Coloradans found nearly 80% of have been prescribed an opioid at some point in their lives.

Leave it to a former city manager to state the obvious. In a May 14th editorial in the Times-Call titled, "Become engaged before new taxes hit the ballot," Gordon Pedrow urges residents to, "help shape the vision for our future library." I couldn't agree more, and that vision should be based on a thorough understanding of the issues.
