In this case there should be no more federal funding for highways, schools, after-school programs, health care, parks, business development, maintenance of infrastructure, environmental clean up, agriculture, law enforcement or anything else. Not just for Boulder, but for the state of Colorado. Then the state can lean on the city and they will fall right in line.

Up yours, buddy. Our State and its cities will make their own decisions, and if the feds want to withold funds, we'll stop sending our money to the feds in the first place.

I can understand the sentiment. I say that cooperation with law enforcement on this issue is something you can do enthusiastically or something you can do reluctantly but it is a courtesy that WILL be extended none the less.

Aside from witholding money I could also see a dandy new national park, or parks, roughly the size and shape of Colorado. It is important to protect such a beautiful wilderness area. I'm sure you understand.

And the primary reason I'd do it would not be because the folks in charge are doing something on principle, it's because they are being wise asses, IMO - just like the nuts in Portland, San Francisco, Berkeley, and other places too.

Don't worry too much though - that's what I'd do. Fortunately, or not - whatever, I'm not in a position to do it and the people that are haven't asked for my advice lately. Or ever, for that matter.
