Guest commentary: Economic performance vs. economic promises
When it comes to the economy, presidential candidates, Democrats and Republicans alike, say many things. Once in office, however, campaign rhetoric often gives way to the reality of governing. George H.W. Bush famously asked voters to read his lips, "no new taxes." Taxes instead went up during his term. Franklin Roosevelt campaigned in 1932 on a pledge to balance the federal budget. Post-election, that pledge also was forgotten.

As a former resident of Steamboat Springs, I would like to pay tribute to the members of the VFW and American Legion Military Memorial Services Team.

They conduct the memorial service with strict detail and proficiency in honoring the deceased veteran.

In a recent opinion piece ("Udall's U-turn on domestic drilling," Aug. 31 Steamboat Pilot & Today), former Republican state legislator Mark Hillman accused me of hypocrisy because, as a long-time advocate of renewable energy, I support a bipartisan energy proposal that includes investments in solar, wind and renewable energy but also adds domestic drilling.

Todd Hagenbuch: Not quiet in HD 57
"Our View" in the Aug. 17 edition of the Steamboat Pilot & Today hit a nerve and the nail on the head. As I read the Editorial Board's view of the House District 57 race, I realized that, as a candidate, perhaps I have been too quiet as I campaign for one of Colorado's most important state races. In today's world of constant TV ads, e-mail blasts, robo-calls and newspaper commentary, those of us who simply are talking to voters about their personal issues and how we can help, can get overlooked. Big-dollar campaigns are now more common than big-idea campaigns.
