Dining in the Springs

As we reflect on levels of taxation and the role of government, it might be worthwhile to recall that El Paso County, the home of conservative citadel Colorado Springs, has so cut taxes that it cannot afford to meet state requirements for inspecting food safety conditions at its restaurants. As a result, complaints about food safety are way up. Personally, I won't eat anything in that county that hasn't been deep fried for at least 12 minutes.
