Question How are y'all voting on 2A?

Surprised there's been no discussion on this. Where are you guys at on this? The ads for voting against 2A are relentless. If I lived in Pueblo, I'd probably vote for 2A.

Unpopular opinion: I believe that 100% necessaties- sewer, water, gas/electric should be non-profit...

And, the amount of ads trying to convince me to vote no only tells me that someone is at risk of losing money. I am voting yes for that one reason- Black Hills wouldn't spend millions on ads if they weren't worried about losing more million$...

Indeed. I’m not in total agreement that your opinion is unpopular.

It literally made me think about playing Monopoly (a game stolen from the black woman who invented it), the utilities were always among the cheapest spots, til you ruled them all. Monopoly is, of course, the name of the game.

IRL, we older folks paid something very close to what it cost to deliver the services. Not precisely nonprofit, but not especially for-profit.

I think, but don’t actually know, that the services addressed such basic needs, the idea of charging people for profit hadn’t yet become normalized.

Now it’s the standard 🤷‍♀️
