10/1/99 Broomfield Problem

Posted in: Country Side
To Cheryl

Why do you belieive county jails are such a terrible thing? Are you aware of the fact that there are already public schools close to existing county jails and there have been no problems. Was Jefferson County corrupt when it built its county jail close to an existing public school? Of course not. You say Broomfield didn't give a darn about Westminster residents or Superior residents. Yet, Broomfield moved the jail further from Countryside to a location that will not any negative impact whatsoever on Superior's residents. Several years ago when Superior had a serious water supply problem, the only city that came to Superior's aid was Broomfield.
You said you were shocked when you learned about Broomfield's jail. Why were you shocked? Because you have all these preconceived notions about jails that are in conflict with reality. You say that the city of Westminster failed you. They helped to get the jail moved further away from you. What else could the city of Westminster do? They are certainly not afraid of Broomfield. They decided it was a reasonable compromise. You disagree. But, many others also believed it was a reasonable compromise.
It is my understanding the plutonium tests to which you refer were done by the EPA and the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. Are you saying that these agencies are under Broomfield's control? They are not.
The soils underlying your home have essentially the same levels of plutonium as do the soils on the site where Broomfield will build its jail. Are you aware of this? The soils where the Westmoor business park is being built have essentially the same levels of plutonium as does the Broomfield jail site. Why is it that you believe the Broomfield jail site poses some public safety problem to you but where you live does not?
You assert that neither Broomfield or Westminster have morals and ethics in their governments. This is not true. Governments may make decisions that all of us do not agree with, but that does not make them unethical. Broomfield believes that Broomfield was ethical in its recent jail decision. Westminster believes it was ethical in encouraging Broomfield to move the jail further away from Countryside. You believe all of this was unethical. At the heart of your belief is a belief that a jail is bad and terrible thing. Jails are not what you perceive them to be. And, the actions of Broomfield and Westminster are not what you perceive them to be.

Sometimes, I too wonder about the press. CVELG may not have directly labeled EPA and CDH as unethical. My thought was that this is what the comments of CVELG's members were intended to mean. Specifically, Chris' comment that the Camera was in Broomfield's pocket or something to that effect; and Cheryl's comments that all of the plutonium studies were done by parties selected by Broomfield. As you know, EPA and CDH completed independent studies and were in no way influenced by Broomfield. In any event, thanks for the message.

The nature of your message is consistent with much of your diatribe on this page. A private group does not need to publicy announce its meetings. And, this is not unethical. They will make whatever announcements they choose whenever they choose to do so.
Your attack on the BCC is also the same old garbaaage that you post and feed to CVELG. It is wrong and so are you.

Once again, we read your jaundiced diatribe. You are correct in what you wrote in not worth the time. Your perceptions about the relationship betwen Interlocken and Broomfield are nothing more than that - your perceptions. They are totally contrary to reality. If there were no Interlocken, you would find another bogie man. Without one, you are lost. The more you say the more obvious it becomes that you live in a world of your own where you and you alone can proclaim what is ethical and what is not. Only you know what's really going on. Only you know what is honest and what is not. You are unable to come to grips with reality because reality is at odds with your fantasies.
Your diabtribe about events in Broomfield is so far off base if it is unbelievable. You are wrong in everything you say. You do not have the facts - only your perverse perceptions. Keep talking. The more you do the more of you everyone will understand.
