Lots to ‘chew on’ in The Monitor

I found the Jan. 15 issue of the Boulder Monitor especially interesting. Of particular note to me was the centerfold “By the numbers: This American Community.”

Also, Rep. Greg DeVries, often talks about how much better we would be off, if the state government, and I assume federal government, would be shrunk. A couple of weeks ago he talked about virtually shrinking DPHHS to 0 over 20 years by cutting its budget by 10% every session.

How many of the folks who live in Northern Jefferson County have benefitted from state and/or federal jobs? If you include local businesses, who would be hurt, the pain might be severe, if government jobs were lost.
