Maybe the Ticking Time Bomb is the city’s budget?
Is the city budget that doesn’t cover ALL the city’s needs really a Balanced Budget? Are we getting an accurate picture of what is really needed to run the city? How will all the needed services be paid for? Will there be a financial day of reckoning in the city’s future? What impact will the coming military budget cuts have on the local economy? The city fathers are still paying lip service to public transportation, right? Still struggling with Covid-19 issues.
The prospective city council candidates are discussed. Are their platitudes enough to get them elected? Are they in-tune with the citizens of Colorado Springs? Their district? We’ve made our best guess with the limited information available. We reserve the right to change our minds. Send us your thoughts and questions on what you expect from these candidates. We won’t screen or filter your questions.

Gentlemen
I’m not quite clear on the form and content of your “template”. But however you choose to do it, may I request that the category of parks and open spaces be addressed? So many candidates and thus far I’ve heard not one word on the subject.
Also….. not just the words “accountability” and “transparency” , but a written and enforceable mechanism for assuring that both are incorporated into the overall structure, mindset and performance of Colorado Springs governance.
PLDO reduction ….. Question: What’s the hurry?
