Wow! I was really shocked to the news that Cortez was legalizing alcohol on the sidewalks (Journal, Aug. 9). So, if I’m a drunk from the park, I don’t have to worry about getting thrown in jail if I just drink on the sidewalk.
That is great news for Cortez. I am sure the restaurant owners will appreciate the business. It’s like if the place is empty and you want business, you just put a couple of drunks at an outside table and voila – instant business. Yes, I know this is probably not politically correct, but didn’t know another word for drunk.
Just so proud of my former town, and so glad I don’t have to live there. Good going Cortez!
