in The Colorado Independent » Newspapers stocks plummeting as the vultures keep circling on The Colorado IndependentIn my local community, the local monthly rags appear to be doing quite well.

in Can outsourcing save Denver on The Colorado IndependentNow, I think the column's publication was a warning shot across the bow of the unions at both papers.
As someone who gets three newspapers delivered every morning, I find this all so sad.

in Schaffer continues to trail Udall in most recent poll on The Colorado IndependentWhy do I say 21 points?
1/3 of the voters are Repubs and Schaffer will get 100% of their votes.
1/3 of the voters are Dems and Udall will get 100% of their votes.
So, after the Rs and Ds vote, it is a tie.
1/3 of the voters are "unaffiliated" and are THE determining factor in this contest.
Bob is down 21 points with this, the only group of voters who matter.

in Janet Rowland jumps the gun on campaign yard signs on The Colorado IndependentSee the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

in Cab Business Splurges Again On Taxi Proposal on The Colorado Independent
They don't control the number of hairdressers, clothing stores, restaurants.
I have never understood the rationale for this. It just drives prices up and service down.
This battle in Denver is between the established taxi companies and the (recent immigrants to Denver from Ethiopia, Eritrea) entrepreneurs. We should all root for the ones who wish to start their own businesses.

in Disappearing Ink And Gumshoe on The Colorado IndependentI know it saves Scripps stockholders and Dinky SIngleton money, but why would you subscribe to a newspaper that has no local content? Don't answer, it was a rhetorical question.
I think that John T and Greg M wake up every day and ask themselves: how can we piss off our customers today?
It is always about subtraction and never about addition.
And, every day, another reader says: that is it; I am off to get my news online.

in The Real Diversity Crisis in Colorado Higher Education on The Colorado IndependentWhy is this a crisis?
It is so easy to get accepted to CU. Anyone who gets a 25 or better on the ACT is automatically accepted. No nasty essay needs to be written. No long application form has to be filled out.
I mean, how difficult is it to get a 25? A 36 is difficult, a 25 is not.
