Some Eastside Residents don't want the CDOT building to become a Homeless Shelter. They'd rather the 900 Homeless Kids sleep in a nice ditch off a potholed-street during this Homeless/Crazy/Heroin Addict Crisis. "Soon after word leaked out that the vacant Colorado Department of Transportation campus in the 900 block of Erie Avenue was one of the sites being eyed as a potential new home for the Pueblo Rescue Mission, a groundswell of dissent began to swirl.

"If Colorado regulators approve, it would mean two out of the three smokestacks that define Pueblo’s skyline would go away. The proposed change makes Comanche Power Plant workers like Dave McKenzie nervous. He’s been at Xcel’s largest coal-fired power plant in the state for 15 years." “We’re very well paid for what we do. But we work in a dangerous situation,” said the third generation Puebloan. Here’s the rub: Comanche employees can earn up to $100,000 a year. That’s a big deal in a town where the average salary is about $20,000 less compared to the rest of the state.
