On the calendar...

Thursday at 7:00 pm the League of Women Voters of Larimer County is holding a meeting at the Fort Collins City Council chambers (300 LaPorte). The meeting is the rescheduled Cross Currents Fracking Panel. League of Women Voters of Larimer County.

On Saturday former Colorado Senate majority leader Ken Gordon will be discussing money in politics and the Citizens United v. FEC supreme court decision. The meeting will be at 1:00pm at the All Saints Episcopal Church (3448 Taft in Loveland). Though the meeting takes place outside of the 14th Senate District I believe the issues that will be discussed have national, state, and local implications so it is a good opportunity for all of us to get more engaged on the issue.

Finally, the three members of the "Fort Collins Delegation" to the General Assembly are holding a community issues forum on higher education costs. Sen. Bob Bacon, Rep. Fischer, along with Rep. John Kefalas, also a candidate for the 14th Senate District, will be hosting the meeting from 2:00pm-4:00pm this Saturday at the ASCSU senate chambers in the Lory Student Center.

If you have the time these meetings are just some examples of the many conversations in our community that shape our lives. Decisions are made by those who show up.
