Too bad so much money is spent on these beautiful big EXPENSIVE buildings instead of providing more utilitarian features for the same cost.

Who wants to fund the million dollar plus system in the first place, then add on the monthly 4 or 5 figure electric bill. Additionally most ditches on the south platte river are partially owned by municipalities so don't blame the farmers.

Obviously some of them were politically incorrect (selling reusable effluent to downstream users including oil companies) for the city to adopt. I guess the city doesn't mind losing the sales tax revenue that they will feel as people can't afford the luxuries for sale in the new mall.

I hope my employer will match this (and all the other fee and tax increases) so that I can continue to afford my pizza night each week.

I guess a slap on the wrist and a stern warning to not do it again is all they'll get, until they are caught again.

Any significant change and RTD will say it has to go before the voters and if it is on the ballot, RTD will of course add a tax increase thus dooming any chance of success.

Makes more sense to leave it where it is.
