Tim Foster didnât take the job as President of Colorado Mesa University to be showered in accolades.
He did it because he saw a vision that CMU, then Mesa State College, and Grand Junction could become educational and economic forces in Western Colorado.
âIâm not sure what I want my legacy to be,â Foster told The Daily Sentinel on his last day. âI guess as someone who moved the school forward â someone who helped people get the skills they needed. Because people are the most important thing. Theyâll do more for western Colorado than any road or bridge ever will.â
Four Grand Junction City Council members were sworn in Monday morning for new four-year terms after winning their elections on April 6.
Rick Taggart was reelected, and Abe Herman, Randall Reitz and Dennis Simpson were elected for the first time. The new council members met at City Hall in front of a small gathering, which included city staff and the three City Council members who were not up for reelection.
The new council started off with a work session Monday evening, which included discussion about allowing marijuana businesses in the city.
According to the agenda, discussion items were to include whether regulations should be put in place, the timeframe for licensing new marijuana businesses and whether to establish a cap on the number of certain marijuana licenses.

Or perhaps my status as a native hereabouts with some experience in local campaigning. But count me a little less certain than some about the possibility that last weekâs Grand Junction City Council election marks some sort of turning point in local politics.
âAll of the far-right candidates seeking seats on the Grand Junction City Council were defeated on Tuesday, a sign that the influence of Trumpism and Lauren Boebert might already be waning in conservative circles,â opined the anonymous authors of the left-leaning political blog Colorado Pols.
