It seems to me that every time we have a “budget crisis” with the federal government the one option never taken is the one that is always hovering above the fracas taking place with our “elected betters” in Congress. And it’s probably the only solution to our spending problems. It’s also the simplest. Just shut […]
Well, news broke recently that the City of Grand Junction was abandoning its plans to acquire the property next door to HomewardBound as the new location to move the homeless resource center. And at The Business Times, we’ve received a few accolades as being a catalyst for this occurrence. I guess that’s fine. I suppose […]
I honestly don’t know any other headline I could use as it relates to my feelings on the City of Grand Junction’s reaction to an Op-Ed that ran in the 2/26/25 edition of The Business Times. Before the sun set and the ink dried on that issue of The Business Times, I received an email […]
After all, it’s the Democrat way. As this paper is being finalized and published, Colorado’s Senate Bill 003 may have already cleared the house and is sitting on Pontius Polis’ desk for his signature.

That’s right, every so often I get the silly idea it’s time to take a survey to find out who my reader is. And while it’s always a good idea to have a set of demographics on hand for our advertisers, it’s also a lot of fun (well, relative fun anyways) to read the responses […]

We know we’ve been tooting our own horn for the past few months on this topic, but we can’t help it if our own anticipation has gotten the better of us. And for the staff, our readers and advertisers, the crescendo has finally reached its conclusion. As of the printing of this edition on Jan. […]
Yeah, I know it’s in the headline, but you can’t leave out what you’re leaving out unless you mention it, and then leave it out. Which I only will in the headline. As you may imagine if you’ve read me at least a couple of times, this will be the most difficult column I write […]
And I’ve got the perfect one for our fair city from Thomas Sowell, and it goes like this: “Some people seem to think that the answer to all of life’s imperfections is to create a government agency to correct them.” And in Grand Junction we don’t just create a government agency, we elect them to […]
By Craig Hall, The Business Times John Kelley’s passion for dance has been front and center no matter where life has taken him in education, marriage, parenthood or career. “No matter what I’m doing or where I am in life, dance has always been an important part of it from being a part of […]
