Legislation would help ‘connect’ rural Colorado
Dear Editor:
In the 1990s, a 2.9 percent surcharge was placed on your phone bill to make funds available for telecom providers who undertake bringing telecommunication services to Colorado's rural communities. The proceeds of the surcharge are managed by Colorado's Public Utilities Commission via the Colorado High Cost Support Mechanism (Support Fund).

DMS students advocate recycling center
Dear Editor:
In the last three years, Tylor Redden, Sara Jurca and the entire recycling committee at Delta Middle School have worked very hard to integrate a recycling program at DMS. The program runs quite smoothly, but for a single hitch — the transportation of these goods.

Bear Ranch and Bull Mountain: What’s the connection?
Dear Editor:
I'd like to thank the Delta County Independent for some excellent reporting that has kept us informed about both the proposed Bear Ranch land exchange as well as gas leasing in our area. The article on March 25, "Former Gunnison Energy senior vice president becomes a whistleblower" is one that everyone should be paying attention to.
DMS students advocate recycling center 2
Dear Editor:
Here at Delta Middle School we are trying very hard to get a recycling center here because we have a lot of recyclable paper. Delta County is turning into a trash bin.
CASB’s interview process limits citizen input
Dear Editor:
Last week I wrote a letter concerning what is now looking even more like a "set-up" in regards to how the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) is handling the choosing of a new superintendent for Delta County Schools. The Delta County School Board hired CASB (pronounced kaz' bee) to help locate a new superintendent; originally they got us 20 applicants to choose from, but it seems like CASB is intent on minimizing citizen input to determine which of those candidates will be chosen!
Breitnauer, Lane are the best candidates
