floored me and there was zero time left to clarify. It upset me because I've worked with Horak on wildlife-related issues before and he was INCREDIBLY responsive--even to the point of taking on other commissioners trying to belittle the entire issue with attitudes dripping in condescension and yes, misogyny.

Obviously, it wasn't close, but I find the entire unresolved episode depressing.

Truly frustrating, the timing of what was revealed when.

Let's hope we see some satisfying resolution to that issue.

Soo happy to have a great Colorado town turn red. Now if we could just get rid of embarrassing Boebert.
