Some things you just can't control, or the law of diminishing returns applies. Not everyone is going to be a perfect Stepford Wife citizen. You can make ordinances and most will comply, but dirt happens, entropy happens. Like others on here are saying, there are real crimes against people that could use the focus.

This is good news. Welcome!

*Nine Colorado public highways being sold to foreign toll road firms over the next 12 months starting with US 36.
*I-70 in downtown Denver/mountains, C-470 and I-25 from Denver to Ft. Collins are all being privatized and one or more toll lanes added.
*Round trip from Denver to Boulder will cost up to $28 in the express lane during rush hour. Toll cost is indexed to inflation and will rise much higher over the next half century.
*The amount of profit Goldman Sachs and Plenary will make from US 36 is a CDOT secret that is being kept from the Colorado taxpayers and elected officials.
*The sale price of the 50 year US 36 privatization lease is secret. Most of the $552 million for US 36 current construction is public taxpayer dollars. Goldman Sachs is getting a steal on 50 years of profits from US 36 for an estimated $10 to $40 million dollars.
*The expensive toll lane addition will mean highly congested free lanes. It will become illegal for the state of Colorado to add additional free lanes to US 36 without compensating the toll operator for 50 years of decreased toll revenue.
*Colorado elected officials are not being allowed to review the secret 50 year contract terms before the state privatization board, the HPTE, signs the contract.
*CDOT is lying to the public and elected officials. CDOT claimed Jan 23 in the Denver Post that the 50 year legally binding US 36 contract can be amended at anytime. This is a lie. If the US 36 contract is changed or the toll lane removed, Colorado will be legally obligated to pay Goldman Sachs and Australian shareholders 50 years of toll revenue- a cost to taxpayers of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
*If an emergency closes Highway 36 for more than 12 hours in a year, taxpayers will be required to compensate the toll road operator until the highway is reopened. In the southern US, toll roads force the state governments to pay tolls during hurricane evacuations.
*Wages of CDOT snow plow drivers and highway workers will be slashed by as much as half, with benefits and pensions likely eliminated to increase Goldman Sachs and shareholder profits.
*The private toll road operator and the state privatization board can order CDOT to take action against Colorado citizens protesting tolls.
*It will be illegal for surrounding communities to upgrade roads or transit systems around US 36 in any way that reduces tolls for Goldman Sachs and the Australian toll road developer, Plenary Group unless Colorado pays 50 years of toll compensation.
*To boost toll revenues, HOV cars with a driver plus passenger will soon have to pay tolls to use the US 36 or I-25 express lanes.
*Senator Matt Jones and 14 Colorado elected lawmakers including Senate President Morgan Carroll have signed a letter requesting a 60 day hold on the US 36 privatization contract. *CDOT has rejected the Senators’ request and is racing to sign the 50 year contract before public outrage can stop the deal.

Who steals a purse from the elderly? Those are some soul-dead folks.

Heartbreaking to be displaced anytime, let alone the holidays. At least this wasn't the work of the Longmont arsonist. Longmont has more fires than any other town/city/metropolis in which I have lived.

Like cigarette smoke, traditional perfumes and colognes contain a lot of toxins which are forced upon all that are near the perfume wearer.

Perfume should be worn so subtly that only your date leaning in to whisper in your ear can smell it, but ever since Calvin Klein happened to Obsession in the 1980s perfume is so overpowering.

High end restaurants all over the country are instituting a scent-free policy so smells don't interfere with the taste and enjoyment of the food and wine.

If you must wear perfume, don't force it on others by wearing too much! Many people have health conditions that cause severe reactions when around artificial scents, including asthma and seizures.

Always great to see a local and long-time company thriving!

It's great when (ex)smokers realize that people around them don't care what they do to themselves so long as they don't force others to do it too with ambient toxic smoke. I'm all for e cigs and patches for that reason.

Now, if they would only invent e-incense, Boulder apartments would be a safer place to live. . . .

Upskirting possibly

I am so sad to hear about another one of our children lost to this sickness. As a society, we had a righteous anger when Jessica Ridgeway was found. Let us all once again let our righteous anger unite us as a society, as in the aftermath of Matthew Shepard's death, and clearly state that murdering our children has no place in our society, and neither do the entertainment shows like L&O SVU that present such violence in a pornographic/grooming way. We are being forced to go back to the turn of the 20th century and not allow our unmarried children to go anywhere without a chaperone. This violence and loss cannot be tolerated.
