Opinion | Romer: Voting is more than a right. It’s a responsibility. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every election season brings discussion about candidates, campaigns, issues and outcomes. But before we talk about any of those things, it’s worth talking about something even more fundamental: participation. Voting is one of the simplest and most powerful ways we can contribute to the future of our communities. It doesn’t require holding public office or being an expert on every issue. It simply requires showing up, and showing up matters. Strong communities don’t happen by accident. They are b
Opinion | Romer: Economic development is community development (opens the original)
Read excerpt

There’s plenty of optimism, but there’s also plenty of frustration. Business is good, but costs keep going upwant to hire In many ways, that’s exactly what the latest U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Opinion | Romer: Globalism isn’t our threat. It’s our opportunity. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Globalism is about connection. It is free and fair trade, international investment and tourism. Our economy does not exist in a vacuum. Dollars flowing through Vail, Avon and Eagle are often tied to decisions made continents away.
