Letters: Why is DIA security such a dumpster fire?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:17:41 GMT

Why is DIA security such a dumpster fire?Why does your fine city inflict such misery on travelers flying out of Denver International Airport?It’s been three days since I navigated the lengthy security line for outgoing travelers and I am still completely dumbfounded at how bad it was.This was a Friday evening flight, in May, in the lull between the ski season and summer travel. It shouldn’t have been a two-hour ordeal. And yet, those of us leaving the West Terminal had to make a complete lap around the baggage claim floor and then endure endless zigzagging before finally getting to the TSA checkpoint.People did not know where the line began. No one was directing passengers or preventing line jumpers. No one at the airport could say why there was such a backup. An email query to DIA communications generated no response.Social media shed some light. A tweet of mine caught the notice of a consumer travel publication editor. His perspective: security at DIA is generally a “dumpster fire...

The Broncos on Wednesday unveiled the first field-level club space at Empower Field, a key element of the franchise’s ongoing $100 million-plus upgrades to the stadium this offseason.The Breckenridge Bourbon Club checks in at 9,040 square feet and is located where the old Stadium Club used to be on the east side of the stadium. It gives those who purchase a membership access to all-inclusive food and beverages and dedicated parking and stadium entrance.Broncos vice president of ticketing, sales and service Marc Jackson told The Post that the idea of the club is that it’s essentially its own season-ticket package. It will be offered as an upgrade first to existing 100-level season ticket holders and then made available as an option more widely.“The seats are in the lower bowl on the East sideline between sections 120 and 126, so they’re fantastic seats,” Jackson said. “Now we’ve married them with this amazing gameday experience as well.

Artists of all disciplines retell and remix ideas from classics of Cali literature to iconic animal spirits, underappreciated history and lore, journalism and memoir, the nature of consciousness, the stylistic pageant of art history, what it means to be healed in community, the politics of craft, music and sculpture, fashion and surrealism, photography and performance, decades of the library, landscape conservation, narrative and abstraction in painting, and sculpture and scale.Elizabeth Waggett at Art AngelsThursday, May 18Elizabeth Waggett: I am Woman Hear Me Roar, at Art Angels.

The psychologically charged Big Cats carry a certain tenacity and force; feared and admired in equal measure for their predatory skill, power and beauty. “There is something poetic about how the work unintentionally parallels my life, but of course the artwork is t...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:17:41 GMT

The Los Gatos Town Council and staff balanced next year’s budget amid a looming five-year projected deficit. The council is set to vote on confirmation of the final budget for fiscal year 2023-24 on June 6.Town staff said Los Gatos’ revenue has not bounced back to pre-pandemic levels, and alongside rising costs and inflation, the town has a forecasted deficit of $2.8 to $4 million per year for the next five years.That deficit can be resolved by cutting costs and using one-time funds, but if the revenue doesn’t bounce back as expected in the coming years, the town may have to reduce or outsource its services to cut costs.Town staff balanced the $56.1 million budget for 2023-24 by setting an vacancy rate for town employees of 4.6%, which would generate an additional $1.6 million. The vacancy rate reflects the percentage of open positions on town staff.“The cost of service is the cost of our employees, and those costs go up…that goes up faster than our revenue,&...
