Offer up some solutions instead of complaining

Re: “And the winner of Californian of the Year Award is …,” Jan. 6 commentary

It’s time for Jon Caldara and the Independence Institute to stop whining, find some courage, and actually espouse some ideas about how to fix things. He derided Steamboat Springs for banning plastic bags, Boulder for gun-control, and Gov. John Hickenlooper for vehicle mileage standards. Every rational citizen knows plastics are a solid waste pollution problem. Guns in the hands of the wrong people are a safety problem. And, vehicle emissions are an air pollution problem. To simply whine “stop picking on me” and pretend that ignoring problems has no consequences is cowardly. Roger Walker, Longmont
