Let's party for Bobby

Editor:

Over the decades, almost every benefit for an injured or ill person, or nonprofit, has had a common denominator: Bobby Mason has donated his time and talent.

Now we all have a chance to attend a great local event and help Bobby with his large medical expenses.

Sunday, June 28, 3 p.m. Bumps. Be there!

Grocery workers deserve better

Editor:

Almost two years ago, I wrote an editorial and stated, “Some think governing from the middle means helping corporations exploit workers.”

In defense of his veto of House Bill 1170, Governor Bill Ritter claims he is governing from the middle. The “middle” is not helping two of the biggest and richest out-of-state corporations, Kroger (King Soopers/City Market) and Safeway, and hurting the citizens, voters, and workers of Colorado.

The Governor cannot be serious when he asserts that middle-class grocery workers are “special interests.”

Governor Ritter promised to sign the legislation. The workers are intelligent and knowledgeable people, not special interests. He lost credibility with them by such outrageous arguments.
