I hope the person who is going to stop paying taxes because he/she doesnât like what theyâre used for also quits driving on public roads, takes his/her children out of public school, stays out of public parks, doesnât walk on public sidewalks or use any other amenities paid for by tax dollars.

During the last few months there have been multiple stories about the people and organizations that worked on the revitalization of the riverfront. Overlooked were three very involved organizations: Colorado Department of Health, U.S. Department of Energy and the taxpayer. Without the contributions of significant time, effort and money in the mill tailings removal, the riverfront cleanup may still be a work in progress. Also, the original bridge to Watson Island and existing island bridge in Palisade would not have happened without the transfer of surplus property by these government agencies.
The February 10 survey reveals 895 outbreaks under active investigation and 2,806 considered resolved, for a total of 3,701 over the course of the pandemic. That s an increase of 124 in the week since our February 3 update, which totaled 3,577 outbreaks (924 active, 2,653 resolved).
This bump came despite a continuing decline in the number of nursing homes and assisted living centers experiencing outbreaks. The health-care category led these lists for months, but on February 3, it fell behind outbreaks at K-12 schools an indication that vaccinations of residents and staffers at such facilities, who began receiving inoculations in December, are having a positive effect. On February 10, fifteen health-care operations joined the outbreaks roster, up from eleven on February 3 but only ten are identified as specializing in senior services, and half of those outbreaks actually date back weeks, likely due to a lag in communication between local and state public-health agencies.
