You can't even get people to acknowledge that there's a problem. That's what floors me.

You can't stop people from innovating, and I don't see that our screen readers will be able to keep up with that. I still think it's worthwhile for a blind person to try a career as a programmer, but I do fear how well that person will do in the long term.

To the west we have the Calexico port of entry, to the east Nogales. Both of these ports of entry have a large amount of trucks passing through. We hope with the opening of this port of entry, we will be able to siphon off the extra workload they already have right now.

There are two issues here. The heart of the settlement is the $14-21 million the city has agreed to pay to stop future problems along the highway. There's an additional $300,000 expenditure in the settlement to clean up areas already harmed by the sediment drainage. We think the Forest Service should help cover these costs.

If it was left solely to the devices of the government, that wouldn't have happened.

This settlement represents a big step forward in the efforts to protect Pikes Peak. We're very happy the city appears committed to do this work, and to do it on a binding schedule.
