Sound right to me. It seems the FIRST priority of government is to
demonstrate contempt for the people, to get us to leave them alone.

If you ever want an honest election again, consider fighting
"government against the people" with fire, not by warmly and fuzzily
"working with" those who keep Boulder a laughing-stock of the
country, instead of the model we should be.

Salas and the Commissioners will pack their committee with warm
fuzzys who will help them expensively tweak their secret
vote-counting so it looks good on the outside. This is official
Boulder: pretty as a picture, rotten at the core.
