AGE DISCRIMINATION SUIT: Telluride Express and ATS Enterprises, the company's former owner entity, have reached an agreement that drops the latter from legal action initiated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC brought suit against Telluride Express last year, over a 2015 decision by the company not to hire a 79-year-old man as a shuttle driver, even though he was qualified. The company in 2015 had cited the rules of its insurance carrier, which would not allow people the applicant's age to drive transit vehicles. SUPPORTING YOUTH: Members of American Legion Riders Post 73 continued their giving ways, donating $3,750 to the Constitution Club, Future Farmers of America (FFA) and band program at Montrose High School. Three checks were presented to the programs — $2,000 to MHS band, $1,000 to FFA and $750 for the Constitution Club.
