" I find it disturbing that these Montrose County businesses exclude some of the Montrose County Schools. Nucla HIgh School struggles as it is, when it comes to finances. We still, however, are able to graduate seniors who want to continue their educations. There is very little to be offered them where we are located. So it is disheartening to see they are further ignored by our fellow county residents. Our citizens do business in Montrose, and have to travel an extra 80 miles more to do so. "
