He did this with the mantra that defines all good Liberazi candidates seeking control of the ignorant peons of the People's Republic. Ban this, exclude that, tax the other thing. Now I'm not necessarily faulting Mr. Hanzel's environmental ideals. But I am faulting his zeal to seek a law to insist that everybody must act as he feels. For it has gone beyond sickening that our city must become a display case of controls for every curmudgeon that wants to feel good on the back of everybody else in town.
Boulder bans what it never had.
Boulder forbids what was never a problem. At a time when the city manager predicts city layoffs, a compromise can be found. Fire those underworked and over-important persons on the environmental board who feel they have the time and mandate to do even more than they aren't already. Keep the cops and stop wasting their time enforcing the 'feel good' ordinances over the do-bad crimes. Stop thinking that stopping the citizens is your sole mandate.
