No, we're not going to feed the children of those in Black Forest to those in Fountain.


I was listening to the radio on the drive in this AM and it looks like Sheriff Maketa wants a sales tax increase to fund the Sheriff's department. We can argue the merits of that later, but it did get me thinking that there is a HUGE waste of city/county resources in having both a Sheriff's Department AND a Police Department.

Why couldn't the CSPD be folded into the El Paso County Sheriff's Dept? Just look at all the administrative redundancies that could be eliminated (along with an over paid PD Chief). Certainly putting all our law enforcement assets under one roof would be a huge cost savings, not to mention eliminating resource wasting interdepartmental rivalries and such.
