Interesting, for sure. BUT DUI is by Colorado Statute .08% BAC. Pretty 'iffy' but, still, inappropriate conduct for someone in his position. He definitely could have handled it more professionally.
Well, It shows she has friends and support. The Town had every oppurtunity- EVERY to remove those two so called'peace officers' and they DIDN'T! Cargo's lawsuit is more of a STATEMENT than a monetary gain. As far as the 'drunk driving' charges go, it was reported that they were DROPPED, therefore don't exist and furthermore are no longer an issue of discussion! Move on!
Duke, you are SO right on! Make those incompetent, power hungry morons PAY! They were the ones who perpetuated the whole fiasco in the first place. Put the blame where it BELONGS!
I am rather inclined to agree with what "Duke" has written. Of course, when we look at WHO owes J an apology....well, does one happen to be so naive as to think that ANY of these 3 members would have the charachter or Moxie to do so? I think not! Messrs. Bleuer, Wisecup & Fisher give the impression that they like power, like it a LOT, and therefore shouldn't even be allowed to sweep the floors of Town Hall let alone serve on the Board! Obviously, they were lousy history students, as anyone with an IQ of a rutebaga understands BASIC CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS of citizens, and from what I have read so far, Chief Russ and his minions were off the charts with their behaviour! They allowed the situation to snowball until it reached critical mass, thus producing the inevitable. I'm not so sure 'Chief Russ' deserves any commendation; perhaps he had an 'epiphany' and realized that resignation was much more pleasant than the humiliation of getting 'pulverized' in a trial that was worthy of national attention, he, being the obvious LOSER!
I've been watching this 'drama' unfold in the 'Creek' for some time now; and it looks as tho the folks have themselves a real 'goat orgy' (read anything by Richard Marcinko for the true definition and meaning of that idiom) going on. What really caught my attention was 'Hmmmm's' comment on fromer Chief Linda Koile not 'doing anything' That is pure ignorance speaking, as nothing could be further from the truth!
Linda worked her way up from a Code Enforcement officer and was appointed to eventual Chief by the Town Board. As code enforcer, she was faced with some tough decisions such as citing a town board member for trash and debris around his residence that it finally was resolved in COURT, Oak Creek being the victor. Anyone who owned dogs knows only too well of her presence, as she handed out plenty of citations on that score, sometimes to her friends even. When she ascended to Chief, she put together a department that used the concept of 'Community Policing' which made the officers more approachable, accessible and 'user friendly' which resulted in more calls, more tickets, and more arrests of folks deserving of it. Let's not forget the significant amount of money she recovered for the merchants of the town from deadbeats who wrote bad checks! She wrote a good deal of traffic tickets, also and WON most of the ones that were contested. When her code enforcement officer resigned, and her other patrolman went on to another job, she was left by herself with no help whatsoever, and was literally 'thrown under the bus' by the so-called wanna be 'plolice commissioners' ( I will not take the time to assail them here as they are not worthy of my comments) She continued to execute her duties to the fullest extent of her abilities without ever taking any time off, being on call 24/7 and being tied to the town. It was a major accomplishment if she could even get away long enough to run errands, shop or take care of personal things like Doctors appointments, etc. Her 'Taxi Service' as it was so fondly called was not her condoning drinking to excess (folks are going to drink to excess regardless) but rather a proactive approach to preventing accidents involving alcohol, PERIOD! Sure, the DUI arrests were few and far between, but what looks better: Bodies on the slab or money in the coffers? You can't legislate morality or people's habits; if they are predisposed to drink, they will. She just helped prevent the inevitable tragedies that may have occurred. Hats off to her! She was a great asset to that town. She got things done and was well liked. There were no petitions circulated becasue of her, were there? She did her BEST, gave it her ALL, and they SCREWED her. I hope wherever she is she is doing well, and has no bitter feelings toward the town. To say she did nothing is pure, utter IGNORANCE!
Innovated, after reading this thread, about the only thing I can deduce from "Y question's" rantings are that "an empty barrel makes the MOST noise" and further, is it really kosher to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person? Think about it. If this person had one item of FACT (OMIGAWD!), perhaps this same person would merit an audience. It's a GIVEN that this person is bitter, with an axe to grind that doesn't necessarily let what's really happening guide the ability to judge. I'm tired of sparring with this person myself, as I fail to see this individual as even a worthy adversary, so I'm going to leave well enough alone at this point. There are too many OTHER valid comments here that are worthy of debate. Y Questions' are not one of them! Gawd! I loathe ignorance
Gimme a break! You cretins will stop at NOTHING to give Gary Wall a bad time! Anyone with half a brain knows that the media will tend to sensationalize ANYthing that has a touch of contoversy about it. This is AMERICA, folks, DIRT SELLS! Let the law do its job, sort this mess out and then judge from that point. It must be really be hard to empanel a jury in Routt County knowing there are such intellectually challenged folks out there. You know who you are; shut up and do something constructive for cripe sake!
Kielbasy, you give new dimension to ignorance and tunnel vision. Wake UP! If stupidity and ignorance were a crime, you , Y question and a few others would be doing 99 to life. Famouse quote: "You Just can't FIX STUPID"
And WHY shouldn't I mention 'somebody's wife?' That particular individual spews some of the most hateful vitriole (and IGNORANT, I may add) garbage ON this forum. For you, 'Hmmm' AND 'somebody's wife' I offer this sage advise: Ya can't stand the HEAT, Get outta da kitchen! Paybacks are hell out here!
