Editor’s note: Throughout election season, the Camera received many more letters than were possible to publish in print. Due to space limitations, the following letters will only be published online.
Bill Butler: Election: Liquor store propositions would be negative
Propositions 124 and 125 are scams, in my opinion, intended to let big box food stores make more money at the expense of the mom-and-pop liquor stores by being able to sell wine as well as beer. Allowing grocery stores to sell 6% beer rather than only 3.2% was a disaster for small liquor stores. Props 124 and 125 will have the same negative effect. Money to support this scam comes from out of state which is a red flag as to who really benefits. No on 124 and 125.
Bill Butler, Longmont
John Tayer: Election: 1A and 1B are wise investments in our community
The Boulder Chamber supports ballot measures 1A and 1B as a wise investment for the safety and vitality of our Boulder Community.
Our community’s homes, businesses and tourist economy depend on our pristine mountains, rivers and trails. The tragedy of wildfire hit very close to home last year. After nine months, many businesses are only now reopening. Some have closed their doors forever. As people come to enjoy our outdoors, they should know they will be kept safe and that future generations can enjoy the same opportunities. This is why both wildfire prevention and our volunteer firefighters as well as our emergency response are needed.
Wildfire…
