Candidate did not respond to the survey.
Richard Skorman: Now, more than ever, we need experienced leadership to help navigate the complex and connected problems we face. I’m a serious policy guy with decades of service to the city of Colorado Springs. After serving on City Council for 11 years, President for four years, Vice Mayor for two, I’ve dedicated a majority of my adult life to public service. If re-elected, I believe we will continue to collaboratively, pragmatically, and pro-actively solve many of the issues we face as a city. We will need this experience to continue to recover from the impacts of COVID, grow responsibly, create more affordable housing, combat climate change, fix our infrastructure, and so much more. ....

The Indy's 2021 city election endorsements | News


They’re certainly not as sexy as presidential elections, but the truth is, local elections provide the greatest opportunity for your vote to make an impact. Instead of being one in 160 million, your voice and choice are amplified; it’s one among several thousand. The city of Colorado Springs should announce the winners of six Council seats and the outcome of one ballot issue after polls close on Election Day, April 6. Ballots will be mailed March 12, so be on the lookout. 
As in the country as a whole, there are tough issues facing Colorado Springs voters and the new and veteran elected officials who will hold these Council seats — issues like our affordable housing crisis and homelessness; infrastructure and development; struggling small businesses and COVID relief; the potential legalization of recreational marijuana dispensaries within city limits and, as Council members also serve as the board of Colorado Springs Utilities, preparing for the 2023 closure ....

Gas turbines will enable shutdown of Drake Power Plant


Colorado Springs Utilities’ purchase of six natural gas-powered turbines signal the beginning of the end for the Martin Drake Power Plant.
The utility is investing $100 million in the turbines, which will take over power generation as CSU moves to decommission the coal-fired plant until a transmission line is built to serve Downtown Colorado Springs.
General Electric, the manufacturer of the turbines, stated in a news release that the units will be the first of their kind to be installed in North America.
Besides helping CSU power down coal generation at the Drake plant, the highly mobile turbines will also serve CSU and its customers after Drake’s closure as the utility brings more renewable energy sources onto the system. ....

Council candidates sound off on whether residents' voices are heard | News


This open space once served as Springs Ranch Golf Course but will be developed for housing.

Hundreds of residents packed the City Council chamber on May 24, 2016, to plead that Council reject a proposed land swap that would give 189 acres of open space, known as Strawberry Fields, to The Broadmoor hotel.
Council approved it anyway.
Over the last four years, other groups of residents — some who organized and hired legal counsel — have passionately conveyed their thoughts on a variety of contentious issues only to find Council vote the other way.
That’s not lost on several people who hope to win a Council seat in the April 6 election; some named it as their chief reason for running. ....
