Yesterday I tried calling Linda Kirkpatrick just out of curiosity. I doubt we would see eye to eye. Here are a few things I might have said. Did you know… Ted Mink believes–at least believed–Stagecoach Park is private property? (This is documented; as a result reports on the special district’s land would not be handled.)…

Cronyism?
Yesterday it happened again. It started around noon and went until almost 7 PM. I called the EPRD around one, spoke with Cindy, and nothing happened. She did not send anyone out or call the sheriff’s department. At 2:40 I called Adam Gamache; again, no reply or action. This is the…

Why Corruption?
A short while ago I was asked why I fight corruption in Colorado. Here are the initial causes. 1. About ten years ago I began noticing the huge numbers of deer and elk in the area surrounding where I live and the massive damage they created. I became a wildlife law expert and started THINK. …

On Terrorism
Sometimes it is amazing how average people can be extremely articulate. On why: “Somebody radicalized them, but it was not my brother, who just moved back to Russia,” he said. Asked what was behind his nephews’ actions, Tsarni said, “Being losers, not being able to settle themselves, and thereby just hating everyone who did.” He…

On Corruption
A sad and pretty accurate view of corruption: Folks who get hired to positions of Head Coach and up (including AD, CEO, President of something, etc.) get hired as much for their knowledge of a particular industry as much as for their ability to perform damage control. Mike Gundy said himself that he was surprised…

Easter. Nice?
When I called today to ask for the person responsible for this–Ted Mink–I was told he is unavailable. When I asked for the undersheriff I was hung up on.
