"Oh-oh sheriff, we got some big trouble abrewin' out in Backbone."
all things are relative…..would they rather his predecessor be returned to office (once he's off probation)?
Two years, if he stays out of trouble. With Stevie, that's a big IF.
Isn't he barred from consorting with other known criminals and shady characters . . . Penry, and Foster, and some of those other bad influences?
He should stay away from the Airport Board, for sure…but he might need a truck…
do you think he'll need to moonlight at a second job to pay the restitution order? and is Mesa State University hiring?
The Sentinel endorsed him in the first place. I do hope they can get salt to make the crow a bit tasty.
Exactly. They endorsed him. The voters voted for him.You get what you elect. Boo hoo.
And they're stuck with him until he term limits out.
they could have endorsed his opponent….
they have what deserve….
My feelings exactly.
If you voted FOR this worthless son of a b-tch and his clinically insane, immoral ilk, or, if you didn't vote against them, then you can most definitely SUCK IT.
Tip: It should not be: 'Ha Ha, payback for stupid hicks' if progressives actually care about organizing in rural Colorado. Clue: Its hundreds of people struggling that are unemployed and underemployed who just got the shaft from Sen. Scott.
Its about real people a lot of whom never read let alone wrote the Sentinel editorial, or voted for Sen. Scott (many here probably did vote for Don Suppes but I digress). I find the dismissive — 'that's what you get for voting Republican (or Democrat)'–a troubling sign of the dysfunction of our day.
The issue befalling Mesa County politics is far worse than run of the mill Republican malfaseance. It is that the already conservative establishment is run by a cadre of good old boys (and girls) that trade favor and position like chips–it has created a culture of no accountability from the Airport to the County Commission to the state leg seats.
No one deserves that, not even the misguided voters and abstainers in Mesa County.
Hear, hear, PK. Ray Scott sold out his constituent's real interests for perceived political payback, and that's despicable.
In an ideal world, it would be nice to see a mea culpa from the Sentinel: "Yeah, we endorsed him, but we were wrong."
If we really want to educate the disengaged voters of Mesa County, forcing them to confront their own cognitive dissonance that government is sometimes the solution to real problems, and that votes matter, a) it's probably not going to be on this forum, and b) it's a dirty job, and someone needs to do it, in a factual, non-partisan town meeting setting.
Isn't it ironic that the seccessionist movement was based on rural outrage at being slighted by big city liberals and now they get knifed by one of their own.
More like poetic justice.
Righties have been knifing rural community interests with good regularity for decades — simple mathematics — their corporate masters have always been more interested in the massive profits more easily made among the bodied areas of this country.
In this case it the deliciousness of a corrupt ideology that claims one thing while regularly doing the opposite, and doing it so openly, and then scrambling to come up with any excuse for its transparent and obvious action.
"Mealy mouthed double talk," indeed — could have been abbreviated to [GOP] SOP instead.
Don't kid yourselves, Ray Scott will still get his honorific trophies and plaques for his office display from righty groups after session's end.
True…they may squabble amongst themselves like bickering children, but at the end of the day their fear and hatred of anything not "of them" will unite them against the evil "other"..
pathetic….
It's like the nasty uncle who keeps raping their children but because he hates Obama it's OK.
Karma bites.
