Half-cent tax has paid big dividends

I want to voice my support for extending the 1999 half-cent sales tax for recreation. Over the years, my kids learned to ski at Chapman Hill. I have exercised and rehabilitated injuries at the Durango Community Recreation Center. We have played soccer on the city playing fields, enjoyed the Animas River Trail, floated down the Animas River, walked our dogs and hiked many of the city trails, and used many, many more of the wonderful recreational amenities available here in Durango. The benefits to our community for one half-cent on every dollar spent is huge, and I urge all citizens of Durango to vote yes on 1-A. For more information, go to: Facebook.com/KeepDurangoHealthy.
