"The Pueblo City Council voted 4-3 in favor of a resolution to oppose ballot measure 2A that voters will decide on May 5, which would allow the Pueblo Board of Water Works to take over Black Hills Energy assets and become a water and electric utility."
Our View: Blank checks and ballot titles
"Approving the referendum essentially would give Pueblo Water a blank check to spend as much as necessary to make this project happen. And no amount of legal mumbo-jumbo can hide that fact."

- Randy Thurston,
former member of Pueblo City Council
