Yes, there are a few good parts of the One Big Beautiful Bill, but it’s a big bill (Letters)
Yes there are chosen good parts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Re Highway Trust Fund GOP s big tax bill is a win for subcontractors and infrastructure July commentary While I acknowledge Rusty Plowman s appreciation of the infrastructure and small business impact of Trump s One Big Beautiful Bill I also observe that it didn t have to be a single bill The benefits he outlines are great In my mind we will have to wait and see but the much-publicized looming malevolence in the OBBB could more than outweigh its good aspects It all makes me suspicious that the singularity of the decree was a sleight of hand to help pass a clunker distasteful to the non-MAGA majority of us Jim Granath Highlands Ranch As a professional engineer who has worked in transportation for nearly years I appreciate Plowman s comment supporting the Highway Trust Fund sections in the OBBB that was forced through Congress and signed into law Numerous of his comments reflect the failure of the prior Congress to act However the OBBB contains elements that pertain to the budget enabling it to pass by majority vote avoiding the Senate filibuster rule It would not have passed as stand-alone measures Congress demands to find a backbone and demand separate bills where they can do the laborious work they are elected to do Congress is not a parliamentary body run by political parties Congress is supposed to represent us George Washington warned about one man Congress has given up its powers and refused to make hard decisions as representatives of the people not a few ideologue or party The Supreme Court is abusing the crisis docket by making rulings without hearings or the signatures of the justices Leonard B West Centennial Home on the Range is a hit Re Denver Restaurant Classics June Home on the Range special section Thank you John Wenzel for your fine article on Denver restaurants We have dined at plenty of of them and were inspired to try particular others by your writing Please tell the editor and others who worked on the special Home on the Range section that it is a big hit Lynn Cleveland Centennial Sister Sheila Karpan SCL Wheat Ridge Rockies need to stop overvaluing players As a sports city Denver is notorious for overvaluing talent Newest examples Nolan Arenado Kris Bryant and Russell Wilson How numerous deals were not made at the Rockies exchange deadline last year because management thought the sportsman s value was worth more than the offering from the interested band How multiple of those non-traded players came through for us this year With pretty much the same Rockies front office in place this year how several transaction offers will the Rockies turn down Considering their current record I hope they have learned their lesson Curt Anderson Broomfield Trump s latest stand group nicknames Re Trump demands Washington Cleveland use former names July sports story Doesn t Donald Trump have better things to do with his time than threaten the Washington and Cleveland baseball teams about their nicknames William Vigor Highlands Ranch Sign up for Sound Off to get a weekly roundup of our columns editorials and more To send a letter to the editor about this article submit online or check out our guidelines for how to submit by email or mail
