Mr. Hawkins said he would say yes to a restaurant, but not for a bar.

Mr. Hanson asked Mr. Guiles to give an overview of his visit to the Colorado Supreme Court to hear the arguments regarding the lawsuit against Amendment 23. Mr. Guiles related his impressions.

All but two of the judges asked questions. It will be a few months before the Court decides the case.

Mr. Hanson also reported that our region’s seat on the State Board of Education, is being vacated and a seat will be open. The State Board is accepting applications, and someone will be appointed to fill out the term until 2016. Mr. Hanson spoke to Mr. Hunter to see if he might be interested in applying.
