    Splendoria reflects on Colorado shooting

    More murders at “Murder Central,” aka Planned Parenthood, in Colorado Springs.

    Poverty limits college graduation rates
    Gov. Susana Martinez made an unsubstantiated claim about prompt college graduation and poverty reduction. The 9-11-15 AP report “State falling short on higher education” implied that measures to speed college completion would help to reduce poverty  levels. A simple correlation between these factors cannot prove which, if either, is a cause of the other.

    However, numerous studies support the contrary view that poverty limits college graduation rates.

    Information needed on trash pickups

    I would like to thank the Optic for the recent story, Oct. 4-6 edition, regarding local trash pick-up. Thank you for clarifying what the City will/will not take, and how to properly fill the containers. Nice to know that they will pick up those bundled tree trimmings! I fully understand the over-burden of excess waste. I usually deliver large trimmings to the solid waste department off of Airport Road. Thanks to the City for having that available.
