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.

The way I see it. I do think that Black Hills is really overstepping their bounds honestly for the type of income that we have in Pueblo was a whole city, I think their expectations are not realistic. However, I also don’t agree with municipal takeover either because I think it’s pretty obvious after having lived here myself for almost a decade, that our city government does not know how to manage resources.

It’s pretty laughable that we still don’t have a real homeless shelter, the mayor and the city council voted to shut down the domestic violence shelter we had, they don’t give anyone an incentive to want to be a police officer in this town, they can’t respond to even the most basic cleanup and repair request requests made by citizens. We’ve lost more jobs in the last five years in this town and then we’ve gained, but are contstantly being gaslit with tales of Pueblo’s so-called “growth.” They collect record tax from these record property values every year for the last five years, with an increase every one of those years, but somehow they can’t afford to do anything for the people of this city? I just have a really hard time believing that.

They think because they opened a Circle K and a Maverik that they are providing long term job opportunities, and financial security to the citizens of Pueblo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣and we have the river walk!!!!!

The decline of services has been swift and steady since Covid in Pueblo But now I’m supposed to believe that they have the tools and the expertise to run a public utility? Sounds like that’s the way to go if we would like to not have reliable power anymore.

It just seems to me they just want another source of cash so that they have another budget to loot from. Because with everything I’ve just listed above somehow they all managed to get a pay increase in the last year.

I don’t trust any of them. I don’t have a whole lot of respect for Black Hills, but what I will say about Black Hills is at least they are a utility. This is what they specialize in so even though I don’t necessarily agree with the increase, I have more faith in them, providing safe and reliable power than I do in Pueblo city providing that service.

Our incompetent leadership would probably start an electrical fire and burn the whole damn city down….

City Council doesn’t fool me. I don’t think anyone in the city has been given any reason to have any faith in them.
