5 Problems Von Miller Can Tackle Next

Newly minted-Superbowl MVP Linebacker Von Miller has a little off-season time now, so I’d like to ask him to use his tackling-sacking powers for good here in Colorado. We could all use a little Von Miller smack-down on some pesky problems.

1. Bad snow drivers in Denver

It’s Denver, it snows here, often. So why are drivers in the Denver area so bad at dealing with it? There’s even Yelp reviews of it.

Perhaps Von Miller could use his dance moves for a PSA and drivers would listen.

2. Court backlogs in Colorado’s Federal District Court

(Joe Amon, The Denver Post)

Colorado has only one federal trial court, with only seven full-time judges to cover the entire civil and criminal caseload for the state. Not only is the court-overloaded since it has been working with the same number of judges since 1984, but now one of the seven is leaving in April, creating a vacant seat.

The U.S. Senate has to confirm a Presidential nominee for this judgeship, and both Colorado Senators have forwarded a list of names for consideration.

We need Von Miller to “strip-sack” the obstruction in the Senate which is currently sitting on 76 vacancies on federal courts across the nation.

3. Casa Bonita’s Food

We love the icon shared with the world through South Park, but the food, oh the food. In a state with amazing green chili, tamales, and more why must we suffer through the pain to enjoy the atmosphere of Casa Bonita?

Help us Von Miller, you’re our only hope.

4. Refunds + Budget Cuts = ??

Colorado taxpayers are set to receive around $20 in extra refunds this year thanks to outdated constitutional limits on revenue – increased growth in our economy. However, refunding that money means it cannot cover state expenses like K-12 education and transportation. Budget cuts are on the table this year, even though we supposedly had “too much” revenue last year.

Maybe Von Miller can use his hips to hypnotize taxpayers to get past the rhetoric and see that fixing potholes on I-70 is worth more than $20 in loose change at home.

5. Blucifer statue debate

Heated opinions often flare up regarding the public art that “welcomes” visitors out at DIA. We love him, hate him, fear him and more.

Here, Von Miller help could unite us all…in orange.
