Such a rich January edition deserves praise. Kudos to the “Rebel Constables,” each one of them, and to Gabriel Schivone for excellent coverage. It did me such good to read this story. And I was on the edge of my chair waiting for election results, fuming over the attempted big-money takeover of the Gunnison County Commission (“Second Citizens”). Thank you, Nick Bowlin. Both are excellent and uplifting pieces, showing that humanity and the good of the commons can prevail.
