Put religion and politics aside here for a minute. I've watched the unedited video, and there's just something very wrong going on over at Planned Parenthood. It just doesn't pass the smell test. I think it's worthy of an in depth investigation by the Attorney General. If it's all legal, then carry on. If PP is doing nothing wrong, then they have nothing to worry about.

The Lafayette fire department employs 14 people. They spent an average of $128,00.00 per firefighter, on compensation and benefits last year. The department runs 2000 calls a year, split between two stations. That amounts to about 5 or 6 calls a day. Or, 2-3 calls a day per station. Firefighters work an average of ten, 24 hour shifts per month. Yep, 20 days off a month. The majority of their training is done while on duty, as are their trips to the grocery store for station meals, or eating out at restaurants, or just shopping. Oh, and they have full work out facilities at the station, so they can get in their physical training as well.

All good stuff, and Lafayette has outstanding Fire and police services!

But seriously, what do they need collective bargaining for?

Take away the chief and other Officers, who's left? Like ten guys?

Do they need higher salaries? Better work environment, MORE firefighters, are they spread too thin?
For this you need a voice?

Give me a break. More liberal drivel that does not translate well in this situation.

Thank you Lafayette city council, for doing the right thing.

Wow. A real worthy restaurant critique from someone who frequents Subway.

Naropa should not be taxed. They provide valuable education for our up and coming leaders of society. As evidence, i submit this quote from a new grad in today's DC:

"We are the Lorax in Dr. Seuss' story," he said. "Not only must we speak for the trees, ecopsychology teaches us that we are the trees."

"Student speaker Adriana Berusch-Gerardino asked the audience to raise their hands and twinkle their fingers to show solidarity with students camping out to protest what they perceive as racism at Naropa."

Seriously?

I find it amusing, and ironic, that one of the largest Christian churches in America, has invaded this little progressive, utopian, ultra liberal enclave of Boulder County. That's just funny, I don't care who you are.....

I find it ironically humorous, that a conservative Christian church flourishes wildly in a progressive, liberal county like Boulder.

"Around the same time most cops are able to prove that they are upstanding law-abiding individuals who are able to be trusted with the power they are bestowed"

I think four of them just did that. They were exonerated by a Federal jury, a jury made up of people just like you and me.

Sad and tragic. Our prayers go out to this family.

Wow, that was a stretch! I never would have thought to take an article on big game hunting and turn it into a rant on anti-fracking. I almost spit out my coffee!
