Best of the Web: Postal Service woes
Advertisement
Steamboat Springs — I don't use the USPS for any bill payments anymore. I do it all through my bank and automatic debits (such as YVEA, car insurance, mortgage, etc.). It saves me $100 a year for postage, at least, and nothing ever gets lost.
These guys are into saving money rather than increasing business to increase revenue. Eventually, they will eliminate themselves, and UPS and FedEx will take it over. Can't happen soon enough.

Traffic and growth
I have sympathy for the city in regards to traffic because if Steamboat 700 is not approved, then when growth occurs in Hayden and Stagecoach, then no one is paying for traffic studies or traffic improvements within Steamboat Springs.
It goes to the question of whether Steamboat 700 increases local growth or whether local growth is going to occur regardless. The only question is where it will occur.

School accountability
Oh, my. What happened to "Johnny is getting an A, he is doing well, and Billy has his finger stuck in his nose and is getting an F, Billy may need some help in general, Johnny may need assistance in further education"? I do agree that our schools should be monitored to be sure that they are keeping up with federal and state expectations, but I personally don't see the need to compare my child's progress with other students. Each student is an individual and learns differently. Progress for our students already are monitored by so many other tests/reports. Why is this needed, and how much is it costing the schools? By constantly comparing with the same pool, how is this supposed to promote growth?
