Street lights are a huge waste of money and energy....

Good for Colorado....

I heard on the radio the other day that a person can sponsor a street light for a few dollars. Beats having taxes raised by hundreds of dollars.

I agree, if I want light I'll wear my headlamp I use when hiking or adopt a light. As for safety, I'm a CCW holder.

Colorado Springs. 

 

The rest of the state is generally still scurrying along, unimpeded, toward Californization - with uncontrolled McGrowth and the increased dependencies upon government that come with it.

 

 

Colorado Spring's limited access to water is thus a blessing in disguise - it  creates a temporary opportunity for citizens to stop and think:  "can our city really afford, to grow?" 

 

Unfortunately, the ability of We The Citizens to utilize that opportunity is hamstrung by the corrupt political environment here in "Little Chicago".... Where all that's required to grow government-controlled infrastructure is a rubber stamp from the City Council ala increased "fees" levied via government owned enterprises.

 

Securing funds for capital improvements via these "Fees" is a blatant circumvention of the spirit behind TABOR - our Tax Payer Bill of Rights; but this fact is evidently irrelevant to our City Council, and irrelevant to the Apparatchik Elite pulling their strings.
