]]> Comment on Auraria students fined for failure to pay on light rail by Jennifer http://www.post-telegraph.com/news/business/auraria-students-fined-for-failure-to-pay-on-light-rail/#comment-265 Jennifer Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:31:24 +0000 http://www.post-telegraph.com/?p=1782#comment-265 According to the Auraria website there are 43,000 students on campus at Auraria if we all pay $70 per semester that adds up to $3,010,000 a semseter or $6,020,000 a year that goes to RTD regardless if we ride the bus or train or not. I don't think that the city of Denver is doing the students some great favor I think it is the other way around that the students are doing the city of Denver a favor. Kory Neslon sounds like a complete tool. If someone is a constant offender then I understand giving someone a ticket. However giving someone a ticket for one time not having their id is kind greedy and jerky. I changed coats one warm day and forgot my id was in the pocket of the heavier coat and ended up with a $100 fine. Additionally I almost did not get a job because of a ticket. It's one thing to give someone a fine and quite another to affect someone's future over a stupid light rail ride. Maybe Auraria students need to stop contributing to RTD.

Ive been ticketed after having shown the light rail officers my upto date student ID card with current sticker. More than 90 percent of the time peop e who get those are innocent. They threaten to call the police if you decline the ticket. The light rail officers are a bunch of bad apples. Ive been the victim about 25 times.

]]> Comment on Tim Tebow turns into a no go by Alex http://www.post-telegraph.com/opinion/tim-tebow-turns-into-a-no-go/#comment-246 Alex Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:25:18 +0000 http://www.post-telegraph.com/?p=3159#comment-246 I like the intro. It had a nice flavoring details, and I liked the how concise the recap of the previous game was. It was nice to lay the ground work to build the article on. You made a good case for Tebow to be riding the bench but you lost me at the "if you know anything about football" line. Why is Orton a better quarterback. Language like "you should know" can come off as a little antagonistic toward you audience. You made a good case for everything else, and I would bet you have a solid argument for Orton. Maybe a head to head comparison of the two QBs as side bar? I like the intro. It had a nice flavoring details, and I liked the how concise the recap of the previous game was.

Nicely done. The intro was a little fawning. More booster than reporter. Got a lot of information in there, and you presented Obama’s bill very succintly. Nicely done. The intro was a little fawning.

The point about taxes sounded like a good news angle for the story. If it was flushed out a little further is would go a long way to undergird the other points made in the article.

Was it a student affiliated with the Entrepreneurial Organization? Or just another student? It's a short and sweet article with a great lead in. I’m interested in the last quote used.

The first bracket, tho, is unneeded and the one the second - that is, you're last line - could've been incorporated much more fluidly, without the bracket. (Ex: quotations without quote-marks, integrated into the *actual* quotation) Great interviews and great information.
