Column | Lewis: The winding road (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I hate bans. I don’t like government telling me I can’t buy something, build something or do something simply because someone has decided it would be better for me â or society â if I didn’t. There is something I dislike almost as much: bans on bans. Welcome to the modern ballot, where increasingly we are asked to choose between two answers to a question that probably shouldn’t have been yes-or-no in the first place. Natural gas is a perfect example. Denver has been steadily restricting (ban
Column | Lewis: The growing-while-shrinking mystery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a mystery afoot. One that had me baffled. Driving around the valley, I see cranes and construction crews everywhere. From Vail to Gypsum, we are building like crazy. There is the huge new complex near Walmart in Avon, the new “jail” (as we Edwards locals have taken to calling it) housing development across from Riverwalk, and many others. In fact, we have added a lot of new housing over the past five years; 1,923 units to be exact â roughly a 6% increase! Amazing. Simultaneously, our

As supporters accurately point out, they’re a force multiplier. My reason for opposing them is
Lewis: Caught in a political vise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We Coloradans are caught between a rock and a hard place financially. Colorado remains a great place to live, but unfortunately, we are getting hammered economically from both sides of the political spectrum. Nationally, the policies and actions of the past 18 months have been a disaster for affordability. Tariffs have increased the cost of imported goods and invited retaliation against American exports. We started a war with Iran without first ensuring that global oil supplies could continue fl
Lewis: No good deed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When we moved here in 2021, we had way too much stuff. My mom had passed away a few years earlier, and we still had many of her belongings. Like most people, we divided everything into three piles: sell, donate and trash. My wife decided to sell some of the items on Facebook Marketplace â specifically, the Eagle County Classifieds. Among the items she listed was a beautiful set of copper cookware that had belonged to my mom. My wife didn’t realize its value and sold it for a fraction of what i
