Are you talking about leash laws, or gun control laws, or both?

Just curious, George.

Councilwoman Lisa Morzel would disagree with you. She actually SAW someone drive in from Jefferson County, use the trails, and then return without going into the city. Oh, the horror of it all!

Myopic for certain. No one from Boulder ever ventures out to other counties to hike? Idiots.

Perhaps checkpoints at the city limits. "What is your purpose for entering the Republic? If it is not to shop, then you must pay fee."

Exactly

You can blame your Boulder County Commissioners for the cluster f@#$ on Arapahoe from Cherryvale to 75th. CDOT has wanted to add mutliple car lanes all the way east to 287 for years, but the County refuses. To quote a former Commissioner: "if we put in more lanes, people will just use them." Meaning, the County wants you to take the bus or bike. Used to be the government worked for the taxpayer. Now, 'tis the other way 'round.

What a treasure!! (tongue firmly planted in cheek).

This 51 acre parcel has, maybe, half a dozen trees and is simply a wind swept piece of land with little value because of it's proximity to the landfills.

I know the board can't reveal it's long term plans for Open Space buys, because it can impact the real outcome, but it's going to be interesting to see how this piece of crap land fits into the plan.

Surprised by all of the negative comments on the food, but then, I've never eaten there.

My surprise comes from the fact we do occasionally eat at the Lazy Dog in Erie, and the food has always been great at that location.

".....Palazzolo and others opposed to the industry...." She, and the others, can't really be opposed to the industry, she uses their products each and every day, repeatedly. I believe, however, she wants the industry to operate in a clean and safe manner.

I am 100% in favor of making this industry operate in a way that makes our air, ground, and water safe. These studies could help get us there.

But, the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory is located on one of the highest points in Erie. The air passing this station comes from great distances, not just from Erie.

Erie can pass all the regulations they want, but the impact from their 300 wells, vs the impact from the tens of thousands of other wells in the Wattenberg field will overpower Erie's efforts.

The regulations need to come from the state, or federal, level. Otherwise, each town will have different regs that the operators will have to follow. Regs will drive up the cost of this product to the consumer, and I for one am willing to pay more for the safety aspect, but the cost will go even higher if there isn't consistent regulations.

Oh, please. Now you're just making sense.

I see enforcement of this proposal being like the enforcement of the requirement to have car insurance. It ain't gonna happen, except after the fact due to a police stop or worse yet, a trajedy.

The honest and dutiful will comply. The criminals or those intent on doing harm will not.

Actions by the government to keep the honest and dutiful in line are meaningles, feel-good actions which will do nothing to stop the mass murders.

The only way to enforce it is to require the registration of all guns. This would be akin to requring all cars/trucks/etc to be registered so they can charge a fee when that registration is transferred to another party.

However, the control of weapons would be just like the requirement to have car insurance - only the honest will comply. Criminals will not bother, just like they don't bother getting car insurance.
