    Default National Unions win in Jefferson County

    Looks like they recalled all the current members and approved both tax issues.

    Unfortunately it happened. Which i believe doesn't bode well for those of us who believe in individual thought, or freedom. Keep this up and that health care single payer ballot issue might pass.

    Two years ago I really though we might have a chance to turn this state around. But now it's becoming rapidly clear that Colorado won't just be on the path to ruin, but that it will be a liberal hell hole in no time.

    This makes me so angry. The recall was based on 100% lies and originated with unheard of biased support by the media. How many other times have you heard every news station report on the exact locations of where everyone can sign recall petitions?

    How many other times have you seen media "truth tests" actually publish corrections and apologize for how wrong they were but only two days before the election ensuring the damage had already been done?

    The media claims the conservative board members are paid by outside money but it's the pro recall folks who have actually been sued because they have illegally refused to report where $100k in donations came from...but a liberal judge granted them an extension so they don't have to disclose that info until after the election.

    The pro recall folks claim the board members are violating open meeting laws but they are the first board in history to open union negotiations to the public. They live stream every single meeting and publish the meeting minutes.

    The leading pro recall folks posted tweets about cleaning their guns and learning to shoot just in case the election doesn't go their way.

    The pro recall folks get to publish their LIES on the actual ballot.

    This entire thing stinks to high heaven and I can't believe how gullible the people in JeffCo have become. I am ashamed of JeffCo.

    Now we have a 100% liberal board. This school district is going to be a disaster in no time.

    This whole thing was all about the teachers, not about the kids. They started this recall after the board was in place for 1 year. Look at the money that was spent, millions. I am pissed

    Not all of it.. Just those 3. The other 4 are still the anti-union ones that cleaned everything up in the first place.

    Every since Wisconsin and Douglas County the unions will do just about anything to keep the tax payer funded education gravy train on track. I don't feel a bit sorry for anybody stupid enough to vote for this recall. And they deserve the tax increases coming down the pike to pay for the sorry excuse over priced education they're kids are going to get.

    Oh just wait. So glad our daughter graduated 14 years ago. Even then the re-education camp folks were gearing up.

    Mine are all done also here in Douglas County. But, I still want my taxes dollars to go toward a quality education system.
