From FDL: http://firedoglake.com/2010/05… I’ll never forget my own trip to Dixon, Illinois, Ronald Reagan’s “hometown.” It was late in 2003, and I was sounding out some of the redder parts of Illinois for an article on George Bush’s upcoming reelection campaign for the Village Voice. There was, for one thing, a suffusing atmosphere of fear. […]
Why is law enforcement SOOOOOO upset at the idea of dispensaries? OK, I am not supporting the guy who was on TV bragging without “knowing” for sure if he was legal or not… But the fear mongering by DEA and AG Suthers is becoming a cross of Jim Crow and McCarthyism. Asking neighbors […]
As the Denver Post reports: The fight to regulate the rapidly growing number of medical-marijuana dispensaries took a drastic swing toward shutting down the hundreds of Colorado storefronts after state Sen. Chris Romer announced Sunday that a pending pot bill would reflect the wishes of law enforcement groups. The attorney general, sheriff’s organizations and police […]
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 […]
Two competing schemes to regulate the burgeoning medical marijuana industry in Colorado we’ll be talking more about this session, summarized by the Boulder Daily Camera: The debate facing Colorado legislators on medical marijuana regulation is taking shape with the release of two draft bills, one from state Sen. Chris Romer, a Denver Democrat who has […]
Charles Davis, a journalism professor and Executive Director of the National Freedom of Information Coalition, wrote an interesting column urging the media to report on what’s really happening at many congressional town halls around the country: Hate, shuffled off stage in the post-racial haze of the election of the nation’s first black president, is back […]

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]
Sorted by passage percentage and if the amendment to the state constitution was a referendum (referred to the state ballot by a 2/3 vote of each house) or initiative (put on the ballot by the petition process). I gathered this information from the State Ballot History Page. Why? I was interested to see what would […]
Quo vadis, conservatives? By Michelle Malkin Thursday, February 7, 2008 “Quo vadis,” conservatives? It’s the ancient, apocryphal question the apostle Peter asked Jesus while fleeing persecution in Rome. Where are you going? Where do we go from here? The contest for the GOP presidential nomination is over. The conservative movement is not. Sen. John McCain’s […]
