Today, I speak as the president of People United for Responsible Government, a grass roots organization formed to encourage better government. Yes, it's me again. stas After all, as Commissioner -" irkmeyer said recently, sometimesar '� thaEwe think if we spea �--'�=�-nough, maybe you'll listen. However its time you look at it differently. As the recent election showed, it's not just me. Or Jim Piraino. Or Tonya Van Bober. Or even Doris Williams. 27316 of us sent you a message. Although it was specifically against l�, the message was about more than that. We are telling you in no uncertain terms that we are not happy about the way you are running this County. We are not happy that you wasted 150,000 of our hard earned dollars in your retaliation attempt against the Council. We are not happy that you didn't take the audit results seriously and use their guidance as an opportunity for improvement. We are not happy with your refusal to acknowledge your illegal mileage compensation to your members. We are not happy with the X33,000 that you now must pay the IRS. We are not happy with your ethical lapses and money wasting decisions. And no, we are not happy that you have disenfranchised 80,000 of us by not giving Commissioner Conw. a coordinator role or that you are dr-trying to eliminate hun, our from those committees where he adds the most value. Have you forgotten that you are supposed to be public servants, not kings and queens? 27,316. In an off year election. That's more votes than elected most of you. So now, we challenge you. We challenge you to work with us instead of against us. Help us fix the Code and Charter so that the Council can play its intended oversight role. Help us fix the comprehensive plan so that land use is not an arbitrary, unpredictable and unfair process that fails to protect the health, safety and welfare of Weld County residents. Help us stop the socialistic transfer of property wealth from individuals to busineses by not requiring them to compensate their neighbors. That's not property rights. That's crony capitalism! And yes, make sure that all 5 of you participate in management of the County. We need every one of you to be doing the people's work. It's time to pull up your "big boy pants", put aside your petty bickering and get to work. Your actions have now hurt enough people. Have cost the taxpayers enough money. Have resulted In enough lawsuits. And made Weld County the laughing stock of the state. It's time to get busy doing the people's work. We want to help. We want to be involved. And we look forward to finding constructive solutions. But we'll fight you every step of the way unless things change dramatically and quickly. As you leave to attend CCI, we urge you to use your time together to get started. Today.
