The Gazette, 02 Jun 2013 – As Pentagon officials mull a decision that could help or harm Colorado Springs, the choice by Colorado voters to legalize pot could prove costly. Public officials must, like never before, work to keep soldiers off drugs. Looming budget cuts will force the Pentagon to cut Army personnel by 80,000. If all goes well for the Springs, the cuts will cause a realignment of operations that would relocate roughly 3,000 soldiers to Fort Carson. That means our community would benefit from 3,000 additional taxpaying consumers, along with their families, who will boost the local economy.
