In what appears to be still yet another stunningly brilliant covert operation; Super-Investigative journalist John Colson scores another headline on the 'shady' public leaders in Silt, Colorado.
Silt is the local Tea Party capital and home to the most popular local mayor in the history of Garfield County, Dave Moore.
Locals are familiar with the everyday sight of Colson and his old pickup parked alongside I-70 as he daily stakes out the comings and goings of Moore and company.
Rumor has it that Silt banned Colson from entering the city limits at the same time they allegedly ran local troublemaker 'bethatesantero' out of town.
Since then, the long morning commute for downvalley construction workers is broken by CB chatter 'when they pass Colson' they are 1/3 of the way to Aspen.
If we are to believe this incredibly astute reporting this morning, the Town of Silt is 'guilty' of encouraging residents to run for public office!
Do we dare to hope for one of Mayor Daves' succinctly worded Letters to the Editor over the next few days explaining this incredible news?
Stay tuned!
John Colson:
"SILT, Colorado — The Board of Trustees tonight will be talking about a proposed ordinance giving a pay raise to newly elected trustees, and to a new mayor when one is elected.
The trustees voted on March 12 to direct town attorney Lee Leavenworth to draw up an ordinance raising trustee salaries from the current rate of $100 per meeting attended to a flat rate of $400 per month.
For the mayor, the new pay rate is to be $600 per month, up from the present rate of $200 per meeting attended.
The board typically meets for two regular meetings a month, on the second and fourth Monday of the month.
The new pay rate could take effect immediately after the April 3 municipal election if adopted as an emergency ordinance, according to a memo from Leavenworth.
Leavenworth drew up an emergency version of the ordinance for tonight's meeting, as well as a regular ordinance that would not take effect until after the municipal election in 2014.
He could not be reached for comment on Friday afternoon.......(OMG!!!....whisper..whisper..)
