Durango Herald Opinion

Durango Herald Opinion With reasoned, informed debate and discussion, Durango Herald Opinion helps you keep your finger on the pulse of Southwest Colorado.

At the Durango Herald Opinion desk, we provide a forum for a diversity of expression and commentary on news and issues of the day. We wish to foster a climate in which debate about local issues and constructive change can occur. We aim to create a space on Facebook where readers can exchange intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our opinion pages. We value thoughtful com

ments representing a range of views that make their point with civility. A few things we won't tolerate on our Facebook wall: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and their substitutes) and commercial promotion. While most comments will remain posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make these decisions as carefully and consistently as we can.

"Both Sepp Kuss and Quinn Simmons came up through Durango Devo, the youth cycling nonprofit that has quietly built a pipeline of world-class riders out of a small mountain town. Behind every grand tour rider stand coaches, parents, siblings, friends – the whole ecosystem of a bike-mad town."

"Call the April 21 City of Durango council meeting what it resembled: a procedural "coup” – a coordinated effort by a small group, carried out abruptly and without broader participation."

Durango’s city government does not often produce genuine surprises. Its annual selection of mayor and mayor pro tem is typically one of the least controversial actions it takes – a largely ceremonial ...
