After the cheering stopped, he continued, “We have created offices that, if they tell you they’re going to do something, you know they’re not doing it, right? We’ve created offices to enable people to have jobs because of political favors. We have a 29-year-old running CDOT that doesn’t know any thing about transportation. Our state has real problems. We need real professionals with real experience.” Our research revealed that CDOT Executive Director Shoshana Lew, who has been in that position since December 2018, is 39 years old and previously held positions that included deputy assistant secretary for transportation policy at the U.S. Department of Transportation and chief operating officer of the Rhode Island Department of Trans portation before coming to Colorado.

On September 7, GOP can didate for Colorado governor, CU Regent Heidi Ganahl, and her running mate, U.S. Navy veteran Danny Moore, stopped by the regular monthly meeting of the Arapahoe County Repub lican Breakfast Club at Mag giano’s DTC to greet 160 sup porters and share their plans for Colorado. With only a month to go until ballots for the No vember 8 election start to show up in mailboxes, candidates and their followers are working hard to turn out the vote. In the words of Ganahl, “It is go time. We need everybody, all hands on deck, ready to rock’n’roll …” She told supporters, “Our internal polling shows that we are only four or five points behind (incumbent Governor) Jared Polis. It’s anybody’s race rightGanahlnow.”said that a debate between her and Polis has been confirmed for September 28 in Pueblo. News reports have an other taking place on October 13 on CBS News Colorado. She told supporters, “The people of Colorado…care about skyrocketing crime, which is out of control right now… We are number one in auto theft, property crime, bank robberies; number two in fentanyl overdose. Fentanyl is one of the top issues I’m hear ing about right now from law enforcement, from families… This is not just affecting folks that are using drugs constantly or dealers. This is affecting our kids, our community. Add to that, we have one of the highest suicide rates for kids here in Colorado, one of the highest drug addiction rates for kids in the country---high potency marijuana is killing our kids.”

Ganahl then talked about one of her notable policy pro posals, saying, “My big, bold idea to get the economy back on track is to go to zero income tax. There are eight other states that do that. We should be one of them. We do not need to raise other taxes to do that… We can cut the gas tax in half
She said that on day one, she plans to undo most of the 500 executive orders that Governor Polis has issued during the past four years, including 350 that are public health-related. Ganahl added that she will also “replace most of the people on the boards and commissions in Colorado.” She cited as exam ples of boards she plans to re place, the Public Utilities Com mission and the Oil and Gas Commission, which she noted does not presently include any one from Weld County.

Labor Day really is the perfect time for a “spring cleaning” of our houses and our lives. We all know the first weekend in September as the end of summer when the pools close and kids return to school, as days and nights cool off. Though many schools and com munities are long past the days of school starting after Labor Day, it’s still a great weekend for one last hurrah of play and carefree whatev erness. After that three-day respite, weekend activities tend to dial back a bit in the fall, and it’s a time we can turn inward for how we will make this year our best yet. The natural connection to the seasons changing and a move toward hibernation can open our minds as well as our Americansclosets.are always game for ideas of reinven tion, as it’s practically writ ten throughout our history and our quirky little tradi tions. New Year’s Resolu tions and spring cleaning are embedded in our spirit, times when we recharge and remake ourselves. We simply love the idea of starting over. However, to be honest, I’ve never really felt like the middle of winter is the optimal time to reset and “clean out the garage,” literally or metaphorically. The traditional end of sum mer, on the other hand, is a perfect time to clean up and reset. What shall we do with this moment and this transition? One other writer who has thoughts on this is Mike Vardy who wrote an insightful column years ago describing “Why Labor Day has Become my New Year’s Day.”The idea of reinvention

New Year’s in the Fall
I started pulling the first of the leaves out of the gutter. Yep, fall is coming, and all of my chores were part of the “fall cleaning.” For me, the cleaning up in early Sep tember is always part of the alternative off-track New Year’s weekend celebration we all know as Labor Day. Seeing the end of summer holiday as a sort of new year is an idea I’ve kicked around and practiced for a few years now, having heard similar views from friends, neighbors, and other writers.
So, as we head into the fall, I’m trying to live deliberately and artfully. As my chil dren finish up high school and college, transitioning into their adult lives, and I head into my fifties, it’s time to begin thinking about what comes next, to make some plans for what Act III will look like. For example, a couple years ago, I started learning to play the piano, and I’m actually starting to feel more comfortable at the
what Transcendentalist poet Henry Wadsworth Longfel low meant when he wrote “Neither joy and not sorrow is our destined end or way, but to act that each tomor row finds us further than today.” Getting better is the goal, and we can make a resolution to change any day of the year.

Even though Cherry Hills doesn’t currently tax internet sales, some vendors are collecting a “tax” and sending the money to the City. This has created a confusing situation because the City doesn’t know what purchasers paid the tax and the vendors are indifferent or believe they’re doing what they’re supposed to do. None of this is happening by any design or action of the City, but it does require a response. This con fusion can be eliminated if we clean up the sales tax code by approving ballot measure 2A.
Today over 200 Colorado munici palities have joined a new State run sales tax system and collect sales taxes on internet purchases. This system gives an online merchant the exact tax information based on the purchasers delivery address. The

Sanctions against Russian en ergy over the Ukraine war aren’t helping matters. Russia is laughing all the way to the bank, having myriad other customers for her massive energy resources, while Europe is paving the way to a long cold lonely winter through poor energy policy decisions.
The Cherry Hills Village sales tax code is out of date and out of step with today’s world. Adopted in 1985, it reflects the law at that time and re quired a business to be within Village boundaries for sales tax purposes. The growth of online shopping, with home delivery, has changed the retail environment. That’s the reason the Supreme Court saw a need to change the law in 2018 (Wayfair v. South Dakota) and authorize retail sales taxes on internet purchases.
California currently has 18 million registered automobiles, with 13 percent plug in electric. California can’t charge 2 million electric vehicles during hot or cold weather. How will this work when there are 18 or 20 million electric vehicles? Will Colorado institute the same insanity as California?

On August 25, “As California bans new gas car sales by 2035, which states could be next?” Six days later, on August 31, News week, without a bit of irony, ran this headline, “Californians told not to charge electric cars days after gas car sales ban.”
California faces similar prob lems which their proposed solution would only worsen. Look at these two contradictory Newsweek headlines less than a week apart.

“Outside ven dors contribute over a million dollars in tax revenue to the Village annual ly; we must update the code to allow the Village to continue to collect these tax dollars and provide the expected level of services to our residents,” said Susan.Susan was executive direc tor of the Cherry Hills Land Preserve (CHLP), a nonprofit dedicated to preserving open spaces in Cherry Hills. She believes protecting and enhanc ing open spaces in the Village should be a priority for Coun cil, given the clear mandate from residents in responses to the Master Plan survey.

A fourth gen eration Coloradan raised in CHV, he and his wife Leslie, a geriatrician, raised their chil dren in the Village. “My father moved to Charlou in 1964 and was on Council in the 70s! We appreciated CHV’s semi-rural nature, friendly community and excellent schools, just as families do today,” Eber stated. “We worked hard and made life-long friends. My sister rode her horses in our wonder ful High Line Canal and across the open spaces. CHV has an excellent quality of life, and I will represent the Village so our present and future residents are proud to call CHV home.”
My wife and I have been residents of Cherry Hills since 1991 and we are very happy with the existing situation in our Village and do not want to see significant change. Cherry Hills is unique. Some improve ments are needed, particularly with regard to traffic, and some services, although good, can be improved. I am a conservative by nature, both fiscally and culturally.

These two draft-day deci sions are worth re visiting now, for the “what if?” factor in both.In the 2006, behind Greg Reyn olds, Clayton Ker shaw went seventh to the Dodgers, and Max Scherzer 11th to Arizona. Each has won three Cy Young they’veAwards;combined for 391 victories, so far; and both will be legitimate candi dates for the Baseball Hall of Fame when their playing days are over.
A few weeks before the draft, John Elway signed free agent quarterback Case Kee num to a multi-year contract.
VonAnyoneMiller.who saw Josh Allen in the first game of this NFL season last Thurs day night can only hope that Russell Wilson—Denver’s eighth quarterback post-Man ning—proves to be at least as good as Allen. Better would be great, but that’s a tall or der, given Allen’s blossoming talents.Accuracy was the main concern when Denver’s coaching staff worked with Allen in the Senior Bowl. But against the defending Super Bowl champion Rams, Allen was the football ver sion of Scherzer, completing 26 of 31 passes (83.9%) for 297 yards and three touch downs and leading his team in rushing with 56 yards on 10 carries, including one for a touchdown. He even got in a shoving match with a Rams lineman.Wilson’s specialty has been the fourth quarter comeback. But in the Broncos’ 17-16 loss to his former team Monday night, he could get Denver no closer than a Hail Mary field goal attempt from 64 yards in the waning moments. Wilson completed 29 of 42 (69%) for 340 yards and one touch down, and ran once for two yards.The comparison will con tinue all season.
Josh Allen looms over Wilson as Broncos QB
Of greater note today is who could have been the Broncos’ fifth pick four years ago. Two quarterbacks head theWithlist. the 32nd pick, as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell intoned, the Baltimore Ra vens selected Lamar Jackson, University of Louisville. And the Buffalo Bills traded up so they could snatch Josh Allen of Wyoming seventh.
Elway reportedly was en amored with Allen, but Kee num was coming off a season in which he threw for 3,547 yards and 22 touchdowns for Minnesota. The Vikings were 11-3 in games he started.
But in his first four sea sons, because of injuries, Chubb has played in only 41 of 65 regular-season games. He had an impressive 12 quarterback sacks as a rookie but has managed only 8.5,
Jackson led the Ravens to a 14-2 record and was voted the NFL Most Valuable Player Award in 2019. A year lat er, Allen finished second to Aaron Rodgers for the same award.The decisions to choose Reynolds and Chubb are, in one sense, similar.
Denver stumbled to a 6-10 record with Keenum under center in 2019 and traded him to Washington along with a seventh-round draft choice that offseason—for a sixthround pick who played 14 snaps for the Broncos the next year.
