District D: You pick


After meeting with Greg Haitz and Dennis Simpson, the Sentinel’s editorial board could not reach a consensus on whom to endorse in the Grand Junction City Council District D race.
Both candidates are well-qualified, knowledgeable and have the relevant experience to hit the ground running. But that’s not to say voters can’t get this one wrong. Some on the board fear Simpson’s presence on the council could be a major disruption, while others appreciate his reason for running — which is to try to reshape how the city government operates.
Haitz, meanwhile is a local chiropractor who runs his own business, the Rimrock Wellness Center, and seems most concerned about the council’s relationship with the business community. In the immediate term, that means helping small businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. But Haitz repeatedly referenced the need to reexamine impact fees, giving some hint about where his priorities lie.

The Las Colonias Development Corp. is a confusing jumble in need of clarity


By RICK WAGNER
What a tangled web we see woven in last week’s Daily Sentinel — in what appears to be some combustible combination of alleged misrepresentations, justifiable reliance, and methods of business recruitment involving the business RockyMounts, the Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce and, by implication, the Las Colonias Development Corp. and the city of Grand Junction.
It would seem that after the construction of the RockyMounts building, the company learned that transportation of parts needed for assembly of the business’s product from Salt Lake City was economically unfeasible by trucking services and delivery of shipping containers to the business by rail was not available. The owner of the company, according to the article, “… said he had been told that they could bring in containers on rail to Grand Junction but when he moved here, he found out that was impossible.” It was not clear to whom he was referring regarding that representation.
