Tim Hersee Response

Well I sent Mr. Hersee a note the other day asking about ground breaking, moving dirt...etc..here is the response I got today...take note of the email and phone number at the end!


The earthwork you're seeing on the Carlson property has nothing to do with
the construction of the detention center (we don't anticipate breaking
ground for the detention center until late this year or early next year).
What you're seeing on the Carlson property is dirt being hauled onto the
land from the construction taking place along US 36 at the Flatirons
Crossings Mall. I don't have any further details about that project. If
you have further questions about this earthwork, please contact Kevin
Standbridge at 303-438-6384 or kstandbridge@ci.broomfield.co.us.

The Dirt's a Flyin'

It was interesting that after our obviously numerous complaints to our own City Council, Broomfield, and the Colorado Department of Health (EPA)on Friday .... On Saturday they had a water truck out there. It was only going back and forth on a patch of dirt, but it was there spraying water.

The big trucks driving in and out were still making big billowing clouds of dust. And you should see all the dirt on 128 from this all. Don't tell me they're not spreading the plutonium in that ground around. But not to worry, we've immortalized it ... they can lie, but Kodak doesn't.

What Ethical Wrong/Conspiracy?

Originally, your repeal campaign was an attempt to get Broomfield to pick a different jail site. But now, since Broomfield is already building the jail, you state that this campaign is no longer about the jail, but is instead necessary to right some ethical wrong or expose some conspiracy.

I think you are giving the elected officials at Broomfield too much credit. Could it be that they "didn't care" about what their Westminister neighbors thought simply because they never considered you would care? I can certainly see that happening since the jail site is so far from any houses and out in the middle of nowhere. After having driven out there out of curiosity, I never would have expected the oppositioin you presented. I think you blind-sided them.

Your attributing Broomfield's lack of information about the jail site to some "conspiracy" is really far-fetched. To prove that, wouldn't you need to prove that they knew ahead of time that some of the Countryside residents would over react? I doubt that had any inkling. You're giving them too much credit as savvy conspirators, and you are totally over reacting.

Do you honestly think Broomfield officials gave enough thought to the residents of a tiny Westminster community to organize a vast conspiracy against them? I doubt it. I think this campaign is being organized by "Broomfield Anonymous" (BA) because he/she doesn't want Broomfield to become a county due to a distrust of the current leadership about taxes.

If BA doesn't like the current leadership, BA can vote to change things, or vote with his/her feet and move out of Broomfield. I think it unfair, however, for BA to exploit the fears of a few angry residents of Westminster to launch a silly campaign based on some flaky conspiracy theory.

You won't have my vote because I think you are being used and your campaign platform is ridiculous.

To Oliver

This is not about taxes; after Larry Cooper, as chairman of Citizens for Better Local Government declared that taxes would not increase. The only mention of taxes increasing has been in the Enterprise as late as Saturday; front page story under the rising costs of the county. Perhaps you need to do some homework before you become critical of this group. Besides, if BF would not concerned about this group; why are they not kissing off the ballot? Why are they appealing the decision?
