Denver ballots drop into the mail on Monday the 15th.
If you want to be an informed early voter, Denverite has a set of articles claiming "What you need to know about choosing between Kelly Brough and Mike Johnston, and how to decide in the races for City Council districts 8, 9 and 10."
I've now seen them in person twice and read as each has garnered some endorsements. Little shift in my mind from what Colorado Newsline reported from the Apirl 12 "first debate since qualifying for the head-to-head June 6 runoff."
Anyone have strong feelings about the mayoral candidates? Anyone have a clear idea of a significant shift away from the policies of the current mayor?
My wife told me to vote for the woman. So, I will.
Your wife is right. Vote for the woman.
BTW, her Chamber of Commerce background is a plus if you want a pro-business mayor who will expand the tax base to allow for adequate revenues from businesses to fund all the free stuff people in Denver want and routinely authorize.
Her early statements about arresting our homeless population and her work with the Chamber of Commerce disqualify Brough for me. I don't likeJohnston either, but I'm not one to undervote and I really want to stop Brough, so I'll begrudingly pick Johnston (especially because Tafoya, Roberts, Walsh, and Herod, who I do like to one degree or another, have endorsed).
"her early statements…….." Doesn't Denver have an urban camping ban?
Would make sense to tell people that you have a choice: housing and treatment, or being arrested. One way or another, living on the streets is no longer acceptable.
I recall Kyle Clark interviewing Debbie Ortega prior to the first round of voting and asking her if she supported arresting homeless if they tried to stay on the streets. She never gave a clear answer even though he asked several times.
Huh … I used to think that Conservatives favored individual liberty.
People experiencing homelessness have very different situations, and a simple “either/or” choice is unlikely to work — especially in a budget strapped Denver.
I’m hoping that Johnston & Brough stay true to their pledges to enact and maintain “evidence based” policy. Because the evidence hints that bans & sweeps aren’t the best way to deal, according to Cole Jurecka and Pranav Padmanabhan are public health researchers and Denver residents. / Westword
How do you know what situations those who are homeless might have? All homeless situations are different, as I learned when I worked in social services during my career. You’d be surprised at how many of those persons supposedly suffering addiction or mental illness knew fully what was going on and what they were doing.
“address the root causes of homelessness…..” You might also be surprised at the number of “advocates” for the homeless who have been drawing cushy salaries for years while the numbers of homeless grow.
Criminalizing homelessness and arresting the unhoused is not a trait to be honored. If I lived in Denver, I'd hold my nose and vote for Johnston. And Brough's time at the Chamber of Commerce is not a plus at all. The Chamber is no friend to the city's residents. Never has been
My husband and I are in London this week. And wouldn't you know it, we had the misfortune of finding ourselves in a cab driven by a pro-BREXIT, Tory driver. Slowly. Through heavy traffic. From the airport to downtown.
We just spent 3-1/2 weeks in Nederland, België, and France.
Every Brit we met was strongly anti-Brexit.
That's because many of the nice Brits emigrated to the Continent after Brexit.
Vlad must have one hell of a collection of videos!

Who’d have thunk??
Grassley is one of the last few respectable Republicans out there.
Uh, no.
Uh, no is right.
When Grassley looks like "one of the last few respectable Republicans" the GOP is in deep cow chips.
Bullshit. There is nothing respectable about Grassley.
Happy Mothers Day to all. In case you missed it, Fat Donnie from Queens has the best words for this special day…
Did he place some plastics flowers on the
Ninth Holegrave of the mother of his first three acknowledged children, as well as send flowers to Marla and Melania, along with the mothers of all the unacknowledged offspring?What a fucking charmer!?? It’s hardly any wonder that the way he’s ever gotten laid is rape or paid sex workers.
The Orange Destruction has no redeeming qualities. To me, he seems to be evil incarnate. He, like Sauron, has successfully awakened the forces of darkness and assembled them against those to whom love is paramount.
His misinformed, hateful, army of orcs, goblins, and gunheads is set upon establishing their soulless lord as supreme ruler of our land.
Luckily, “”Dark Brandon” is their bane and their path to extinction.
Vote Blue…No Matter Who!
On behalf of all the Commie Mommies, Socialista Sistas, and Tree-Hugging Earth Worshippers out there:
May Fat Donnie receive all the legal consequences and karma he has worked for so diligently. So Mote It Be.
😆
The day of his death will be a glorious celebration.
