Why doesn’t the railroad and folks who know the value of the D&S Narrow Gauge to Durango and Silverton recognize that the @#$%& who shows up in the town council meeting are just a bunch of thieves? They have been compensated by buying property cheaper than other places and have been paying fewer taxes than other that do not live in the plume of smoke, where smoke has always existed.
So if they get the smoke stopped at the cost to the railroad, how much more will their land value be worth, and at no expense to them? All they have to do is bitch and make trouble and get their story in the newspaper. And the newspaper seems to favor giving the thieves a platform to steal from other landowners and tax payers in Durango.
Why don't some landowner stand up in the council meeting and expose the thieves for what they are, down right crooks that want to get great value for their property without doing anything for it.
I like what the Airport folks did and it is time we expose the smoke freaks in the same manner.
