Anybody from Co. Springs here to tell us what it's really like?

The people of Colorado Springs screwed the pooch last fall. And I say that as a conservative Republican.

I totally disagree.

In recent years the city has been collecting a "StormWater" fee for drainage projects. It was called a fee to avoid having to put it before the voters as a new tax.

The arrogance of the city government really pissed off a lot of people and we voted the mill increase down.

How this will affect the city in the long run is anybodies guess. So far the only direct issue I've had is they did not run a grader through my all last fall and now it's full of pot holes.

Oh the Horror!!!

That, sir or madam, is the signature of an electorate that relied on emotion rather than rational thought. "We're pissed now, and who cares what happens later?"

How do you like those potholes and un-sanded streets?

I think you replied to the wrong person, chief ... I didn’t say any of that.
