For the Record
I sent this commentary to the far left editor at the Vail Daily; it'll be interesting to see if he deems it worthy to be published in the paper - who knows maybe he'll surprise me. During a recent Zoom call my youngest grandson told me his school was engaged in a...
Voting Rights or Voting Rules?
