"It was expected that Commissioners Meis and Rowland would be re-elected. No doubt Bradford had some Presidential or Vice-presidential coat tails. But she also delivered a message of holding the line on taxes and was successful in illustrating Buescher's party loyalty to the dems and Ritter, a loyalty that often put Mesa County second. A large part of Buescher's crossover appeal in previous elections was the perception that he was a "nice guy". A series of mean and mostly untrue ads put out by the Buescher campaign put an end to that illusion."

"I received a piece of mail from some group calling itself the Friends of District 51. I’m sure every household in Mesa County received one.

The City Council and the city manager would have you believe that it is all about building a new police station and a few new fire stations, the so-called Public Saftey Complex.

I think the residents will see through that and pick 'C': none-of-the-above."
