TC Line calls for Monday, June 2, 2023
Canceling I have been planning to cancel my subscription to the Times-Call for months and don't know why I held on so long — maybe because growing up here all these years the paper was so much a part of our family and our connection to our community. After several decades, I no longer feel the Times-Call represents me and other conservatives. The constant Cartoonist's Takes, the hateful articles that show the Times-Call does not represent a balanced newspaper. And to make my point perfectly clear, (on) the Thursday, May 29, front page of the Times-Call, (ther) most important story was (the) plan to keep Warren Hearn's late-term abortion clinic open with new owners and location. This front page article is the reason so many are dropping their subscription to a paper that has lost their moral compass. Trump Complaint Line To the person who's calling the TC Line the Trump Complaint Line: That might be true, but he gives us so much to work with. SVVSD superintendent The new school superintendent looks to be a very impressive leader. It is this type of person that we need for the next mayor of Longmont. There are too many left-wing ideologues on the present council who make poor decisions for the city. Boulder cows I see Boulder is going to use cows for wildfire mitigation in order to eat the grasslands. I'm confused, because I thought cows caused climate change. CEO compensation In (Sunday's) Time-Call we learned that CEOs being compensated with tens of millions of dollars a year received an average increase of 10% while employees received an increase of 1%. That is why we have to cut services for health and research and food for poor children — to give the upper 1% a few trillion dollars.

Jake Marsing announces candidacy for Longmont City Council
Editor's note: The Times-Call will run candidate announcement stories as we receive the information. Jake Marsing is running for one of the two at-large seats on the Longmont City Council that are up for election this November. The 30-year-old husband, father and Frederick High School teacher announced his candidacy early Thursday morning in a news release and YouTube video. 'My family has been part of this community for five generations,' Marsing said. 'I love this city. It's in my blood. But Longmont isn't the same farm town my great-grandparents settled in. It's not even the bedroom community I grew up in.' Instead, Marsing called Longmont a '21st-century city' facing challenges that include soaring housing costs, unaffordable and inaccessible childcare and difficult decisions about growth, sustainability and the environment. Marsing listed expanding access to affordable and attainable housing, sustainable growth and addressing high childcare costs as top priorities, should he be elected. 'We need leadership that stands up for working-class folks, protects what makes Longmont special, and honors our past but is ready to take bold action for the future. That's why I'm running — to build a Longmont for everybody.' Marsing has served as professional staff in the Colorado General Assembly, as an officer in the Boulder County Democratic Party and as a past member of Longmont's Housing and Human Services Advisory Board. He grew up in north Longmont. Marsing has received numerous endorsements from current and former public officials according to his campaign website, including: Democratic State Rep. Karen McCormick, Boulder Mayor Aaron Brockett and former Longmont City Councilmember Tim Waters. The Longmont City Council's mayoral seat, both at-large seats and Ward 2 seat are all up for election on Nov. 4. Alex Kalkhofer is also running for one of the two at-large seats.
