This morning, the Gazette published a letter from a citizen complaining about the uncontrolled construction and population growth in our county that is causing serious air pollution … while they did not offer up possible solutions.

I, for one, get so tired of people decrying this problem or that problem while they seem clueless as to how to solve the issue. If, in fact, we are seeing air pollution as a major problem, how about reintroducing annual car emission testing? It might cost the drivers a bit more for the privilege of driving in the Pikes Peak region, but the view of the mountains will stay clearer.

And while we are at it, how about adding annual car safety inspections to the agenda?
