At least when it comes to the federal government, it’s over $7 TRILLION (OK, some $2 trillion of that is made up out of thin air) or so, we can see why all the dirty pool is going on. But in Grand Junction, we’re not even talking about real money at our budget levels. The […]
And that’s whether you declare it as a news story or make it an agenda item for a city council meeting or whether that “agenda item” basically became a doxxing for “up to 20” people who are indeed at risk in their lives. For those of you on the left who believe themselves to be […]
As we see it, the coming Grand Junction City Council election on April 8, 2025, provides some simple choices. Although in our fair city two problems tend to arise when it comes to our spring, City Council elections. The first is always most glaring and in the past few elections has probably caused the citizens […]
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 […]
Gov. Jared Polis has supported HB 24-1448, the recently passed school-finance reform bill, as a historic step forward in education funding. But the reality? It still fails to address Colorado’s chronic underfunding of schools. While the bill eliminates the Budget Stabilization Factor, it does not provide adequate funding for districts to meet the state’s own […]
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 […]
In 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright, bicycle mechanics in Dayton, OH, earned their place in history by inventing, building and flying the world’s first successful airplane. Their invention revolutionized transportation and opened up a new world. At the same time, the U.S. Army had paid Samuel P. Langley $50,000 to design a flying machine, which […]
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. And while the bill is unconstitutional on its face, I thought I’d try to take some leftist arguments to show those […]
A potential conflict of interest is raising concerns about the future of the HomewardBound of the Grand Valley Resource Center, as HomewardBound Board Chair William Wade and his wife, Karen Wade, are actively involved in multiple current Grand Junction City Council races. They are backing candidates running against Council member Cody Kennedy and at-large candidate […]
