Re: Big money is playing Boulder during elections

City of Boulder has a $400M budget and we run hit pieces on people excited about candidates and committees spending $15,000? Something doesn't add up here.

Zayo added 1000+ jobs to the community, how did the city thank or acknowledge them? I find that super odd.

Also: quite a few factual errors in this piece that should be corrected.

I always find it tough to get tickets to games. Most have rabin fan groups and high prices which results in no tickets for sale outside the venue and no way to buy online (Arsenal comes to mind). For them I had to follow a twitter account that resells season tickets which was super odd but worked out.

Love the challenge of this! Cost of the rail travel alone has to be in the thousands!

Interesting. I'd love to see the back of the cabin levels. I always try to get ahead of the wing as it is just plain louder behind it.

From what I can tell there has been a long period of no building (great recession) followed by a boom of building, especially commercial.

People tired of noise + people that want to see no new people + people that bought their house for $50k and complain that they have to pay taxes on a million $ house...

Thanks for sharing David. I'm trying to write a similar 'thank you & goodbye' and am finding it very difficult. Such a class act that made such a fundamental impact on so may of us.

Re: Bad Actors, Assholes and Being Awesome with People

Andrew Hyde — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 16:30:58 -0000

Dealing with bad actors is usually easy as they move on when they get pushed away by ethics or good actors... what I have the hardest problem is with the very few resilient bad actors that have been taught to do terrible things with persistence.

Oh Boulder, where incredibly bright and talented people come to compete in a small town atmosphere.

Great post Brad.

Re: Boulder Shouldn’t Municipalize Its Energy Utility System

Andrew Hyde — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 17:10:25 -0000

We should have the public vote on it?

Oh, we did. How about another vote on it?

Oh, we did.

So now it is wrong (or still wrong) but odd in that the "we were voted down twice and are still pissed" group is taking the high ground on "the city will spend too much" so it is wrong.

$316,771,328 — Total proposed budget. And we are saying the municipalization is a mistake because they want to borrow $4M from the general fund? Am I supposed to be outraged that the city wants to spend ~1% of their yearly budget for a massive new program (that will bring in revenue)?

I'm not saying it is right or wrong (I think it is massively ambitious project!) but it seems like we are just trying to fear-monger. Not trying to pick a fight here, just see this as extremely odd.

They now have every household as a customer, for life, for their pretty consistent energy needs (and don't say that Nest will somehow make my refrigerator use less energy). Is that really a death spiral?
Wouldn't the profits from this go back / support the general fund?
