Front Range normal

Isn’t interesting how people living on the Front Range deal with what is not normal. But somehow accept it as normal?

It’s OK to try and visit the mountains via I-70 on the weekend to go camping, skiing, hiking, sight seeing or just to get out of the city for a day. As we recently saw on the July 3 the east-bound tunnel side of west-bound I-70 closed due to a wreck for four hours. CDOT told people to go back to Denver. Thats normal!

When dining downtown on a Saturday night, we get to see bums, human feces, used syringes on the sidewalks and smell skunk (POT) and maybe see or be involved in a shooting or stabbing. Thats normal!

Everyday go to work and come home from work and get into traffic jams every single day. Hit the same holes in the road every day and pay for the car repairs. Get taxed and collect fees to fix the roads that never get fixed. That’s normal!

The state legislators pass lots of stupid laws like no plastic bags at the stores. Costs taxpayers more money and does nothing for the environment. Make the gasoline providers put stickers on the pumps that say fossil fuels are hazardous to your health. That’s normal!

The governor and mayor designate the state to be a sanctuary state Take the funding away that should go to planting flowers in our parks and give it to the illegals. Provide millions of dollars to house, feed and provide medical attention to the illegals.

That is tax money paid in by taxpayers and given away to the illegals. That’s normal!

Park your car at DIA and get it stolen. No consequences for the people that stole it if they are apprehended. That’s normal!

Steal money from the Colorado Department of Transportation meant for road and bridge repair build bike paths that nobody uses. Steal car lanes for bike lanes that no one uses. That’s normal!

Allocate billions of dollars to taking care of the homeless for the past 10-15 years with no results and no end in sight. Homeless population still growing. That’s normal!

Matter a fact there is nothing normal about the way our state is run.
