STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD
Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway
January 4 2017
Mr. Chairman--- This is a sad day for Weld County. On November 30, 2016, I was
Informed in an unnoticed meeting by my fellow commissioners the action's being
undertaken against me today would take place. I had hoped after a month of
reflection cooler heads would prevail among my fellow commissioners, but
unfortunately that has not occurred.
Their actions today are retaliation against me for attempting secure the public's
right to know about budget issues and my public release of the attempt to
schedule meetings with companies that will be having business before Weld
County. It is a plan to keep information from the public that the public has a right
to know and is a clear violation of the public trust. It is retaliation against me for
the exercise of my First Amendment rights as a citizen. By doing this it is a chilling
message to Weld County employees, many of whom are at will and dependent on
the board for their job to remain silent when they see something improper, or
they too will be retaliated against.
The action by the board today is also a clear violation of the Home Rule Charter
for Weld County —Article III, Section 3, number 2--- which states: "Each of the
other four departments, as established in Article IV SHALL be coordinated by one
of the other commissioners together with assistance from another
commissioner." The resolutions today appointing commissioners for 2017
excludes an assignment for me as one of the commissioners in direct retaliation
for speaking to the public.
