Guffey residents are asking that theirs are the only rights that should be represented in Park County on this issue. Today it's building codes. Such a mindset could prove dangerous. Unfortunately, Guffey is not an incorporated town and does not have the option to create and enforce its own laws. Like all other unincorporated areas, Guffey is subject to county law, whether residents feel it is appropriate or not.
Laws are in place for the greater good of society.
This, in essence, is the definition of government, and is what forged the bonds of our society in 1776. As our great leader, Abraham Lincoln once said, a house divided against itself cannot stand. We are honored to have been recognized with six Colorado Press Association awards during the CPA's 2000 Better Newspaper Contest last weekend. These awards mean a lot to us, because they come from our peers. And no one is more critical of journalism than other journalists.
