You elevated John Hickenlooper to political sainthood in Ritter Ends Re-Election Campaign. The HickTruther movement starts now. 1. He has pissed off city law enforcement. Recent raise reductions aren’t sitting well with the DPD. The sheriffs don’t like Hick after clashing over pay, firings and arrest powers. Police are the most powerful union in the […]

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will be losing 65 employees this year alone, reports the Denver Post:
A reduced county pension contribution coupled with lower-than- market pay has Jefferson County sheriff’s employees heading for the door.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is on track this year to lose 65 of its more than 700 employees – most of them sworn officers. Many will go to departments in Denver, Aurora, Commerce City and Adams County.
“It’s a competitive market right now,” said Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink.
Mink recently told county commissioners: “It will be pretty hard to maintain our level of service at some point.” [Pols Emphasis]
Mink and his commanders blame a retirement program that was behind other agencies’ offerings. In January, it lost more ground when the county reduced its match for the defined contribution plan – which works as a 401(k) plan – from 10 percent to 8 percent.Arvada, Boulder, Commerce City, Littleton and Westminster all contribute 10 percent; Thornton, 9 percent; Aurora, 10.5 percent; and Golden, 13 percent.
Jefferson County not only hasn’t kept up, “They’re going in the wrong direction,” said Don Christensen, executive director of County Sheriffs of Colorado. [Pols Emphasis]

Quo vadis, conservatives? By Michelle Malkin Thursday, February 7, 2008 “Quo vadis,” conservatives?

The contest for the GOP presidential nomination is over. The conservative movement is not. Sen. John McCain’s […]

Republican John Wesley Anderson, one of about three dozen candidates running in CD-5 to succeed Rep. Joel Hefley, announced a handful of endorsements from the law enforcement community. Click below for the full press release…
Since we broke the news back in February that Congressman Joel Hefley was telling colleagues that he planned to retire rather than seek re-election in 2006, the consensus has slowly moved from “You’re crazy,” to “Maybe you were right.” Well, the first shot has now been fired without waiting to see if Hefley will step […]
