Congrats to Garfield County Sheriff! The citizens of GarCo can be proud of being debt free and accomplishing that by now owning the state-of-the-art Sheriff's annex in Rifle!
John Stroud:
"GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado — Garfield County commissioners will exercise the county's purchase option on the county jail and sheriff's administration building in Glenwood Springs, saving more than $2 million in future interest payments and retiring the county's long-term debt for the time being.
“It's an anomaly in government to be out of debt,” Commission Chairman John Martin said during the regular Board of County Commissioners meeting on Monday.
“Getting this done has been one of my biggest goals,” Martin added in a prepared statement issued by the county following the decision.
“We will be free of this commitment and own the jail and sheriff's office outright,” he said. “We also have addressed the concerns of any citizens who thought our fund balances were a little too high.....”

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Glenwood Springs retail sales end year up 1.7 percent"
Of all the little victories and breakthroughs for the little guys here in the Roaring Fork Valley over the past four years; this one from John Stroud over on the Glenwood Springs Post Independent makes 'SandBox Nanny' feel the best.
Look at this.
He even has graphics. Talk about smoking right on by the guys up on the Aspen Daily News!!! Yowza!!
Will this be enough, all you avatars in commentary?
Has John Stroud finally done enough to satisfy your shout outs for details when it comes to revenue reporting from the City of Glenwood Springs?
Has he ever. Thank you, Mr. Stroud. This is very, very well done. Let's see if the 'kids' buy it.
Hooah.

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Glenwood's September sales up 2.6 percent"
Before you 'kids' jump all over John Stroud again, (rightfully so at this point) for his abject failure in reporting sales tax information that is of any use whatsoever except a feel-good moment, please try to notice that he has managed to break out his numbers a little bit this month and the report is better than it's ever been.
Take the high road, please.
Mr. Stroud,

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Glenwood sales taxes up 3 percent for August"
You're right, 'anonymous'.
It takes patience beyond measure.
One of SandBox Nanny's fav sayings, given to her long ago by an unlikely sage, is: "What I hear you saying..."
She thinks that once again, she is being left by John Stroud with no other choice than to leave the PI, The City of Glenwood Springs and our local tourism marketing efforts in the hands of the 'kids'.
What she will do for Mr. Stroud, on this article, is use the tool of an unlikely sage:
"What I hear you saying, is that it is way too difficult to simply grab the statistical data that breaks down both the city sales tax numbers (and) the lodging/accommodations tax numbers; and post them up in the only daily newspaper 81601 has. Because it is way too difficult to do that, you believe it best to continue to antagonize the folks who want to get down to the facts instead of the 'gild on the lily' as they are so fond of saying."
SandBox Nanny will add that she is very pleased to see the change in reporting that Mr. Stroud has made. More and more we see just the facts and that is sincerely appreciated.
Congratulations to the City of Glenwood Springs on what looks like on the surface, a cresting over the peak.
'Kids', what can you do to help John Stroud hear you?
