I guess we’ll see how that headline gets conflagrated all out of whack, but I’m sure it will, given the information this column is about to reference came from Facebook threads. And as we all know, and Councilman (who should have resigned or been removed) Jason Nguyen took pains to remind us, nothing ever said […]
Craig Hall, The Business Times When it comes to hitting milestones, especially years in business, many businesses may host a small event or send out a news release to the local media. But for Sadye Saad, those simply weren’t enough. After all, for Saad, Pollux’s 25 years in business isn’t just a milestone, it’s more […]
I was going to write another column about our misguided, unethical, agenda-driven city council, but then it occurred to me that I can always write one of those. And as my buddy Bruce said, “You only have a two-year survival anniversary column you can write once.” He’s so right. After all, if I try to […]
I know, another column about me and my feelings. But just what in the H-E double toothpicks did you expect? It’s my column, in my paper, and it’s gonna get printed, because I exert total power, control and the bucks that print The Business Times. Truth is: I just like to write my opinions on […]
But more important, you read what I wrote. And that’s not “self-aggrandizing” as one new fan declared in an email offering. It’s just a simple truth directly related to not what I write, but rather why I write. I do write in hopes people read it. But, again, most importantly, I write because I want […]
Because the riots we’re seeing in California, and if I can predict the future (as this column’s deadline comes before the scheduled Saturday, June 14th, 2025, riots), coming to a town near you, are but a symptom (and warning) about our limited form of government that no longer knows any limits. It’s like these folks […]
Craig Hall, The Business Times There’s an adage in golf known as “the rub of the green,” which refers to “an accidental or unpredictable influence on the course or position of the ball.” And while most golfers experience this phenomenon at some point in nearly every round they play, the City of Grand Junction was […]
There are a couple of things I’ve written over the past few editions of The Business Times I can’t seem to shake. It’s not that I can’t shake them because some readers may not agree with them, but rather, they are more like eternal truths when it comes to politics. I used a quote in […]
And just how do I know this, you may ask? Well, I could reference the emails I get from longtime readers telling me they are enjoying the more frequent, and more community-news-based, coverage. I could mention the phone calls from friends and associates who express to me how they see our move to weekly is […]
Just when you thought Colorado couldn’t possibly need any more legislation, Gov. Jarod Polis shows up again and again on your Facebook wall signing into law another piece of recently passed legislation with smiling supporters in the background. And Facebook users better get used to seeing these posts, because our state legislature passed 485 pieces […]
