Dear Friends,

As you know, I try to write about the current market conditions in Colorado Springs every weekend. This has grown to be my most arduous task weekly. My audience has grown to be significant in many respects; size, intellect, demand, for example. Trying to write something entertaining, edgy, witty, informative, provocative is no easy task, especially with such a diverse readership. And we all know the saying, “you can’t please everyone, every time”.

And, in my process of running for mayor, I have learned and learned and learned that I have to be more careful about what I say and write. Frankly, (and those of you who know me, know this) I have toned-it-down, a lot.

I’m writing to let you know that I will be taking a hiatus from my weekly report. It has been a fun run. I want to thank you for reading.

Before I sign-off, I’d like to correct a factual statement that I made last week; I don’t know the budget deficit coming at us in the next budget cycle. I thought the deficit had improved to be “only” $20,000,000. I spoke prematurely; it could be more; (I am going to continue hoping that it will be less!) Suffice to say, “tomatoe – tomato” we still face enormous challenges in many regards which will require a new way of thinking about local government.

With warm regards from the front lines,


Sincerely,

TJL
