About
November 30th, 1999
Last November the city of Greeley Colorado held their general elections. As a civic minded citizen who tends to vote in every public election I was saddened when I realized I had to pick some candidates on a completely random basis. I realized there were people running for elected offices that I had never even heard of before. As a response to that I’ve decided to start this blog. So many of us are concerned about politics at a national level, but barely concern ourselves with the elected officials that make decisions effecting our everyday lives.
The purpose of this site is to educate and document the actions of our city council, school board and Weld County Commisioners. In accordance with that intention I welcome any comments or submissions directly related with governmental actions. We will discuss things like city planning, traffic patterns, public transportation, CSAP tests in our schools, pet restrictions, noise ordinances and any other relevant topics. We will not discuss religion, federal politics and any other completely unrelated issues. If you would like to discuss other random topics with local residents I highly recommend starting your own blog at the Greality website. Anyone who has any comments or articles for the site, please send them to me. As long as they are well thought out and non-inflammatory I will post them. This includes informative information from our elected officials or candidates themselves. I’m looking forward to many lively discussions.

This is a great resource for Greeley residents… wish I’d known about it before the election! Have you mentioned it to the Tribune?
One thing that might make it more helpful would be to make candidates’ voting records available. It’s all too easy to make a decision based on second-hand information which may or may not be true…

No, I haven’t mentioned it to the Tribune. They are running blogs of their own, I’m not sure how well received my efforts woudl be.
Access to the candidates’ voting records is a great idea. I believe voting records for our state and federal representatives are available. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a location to get complete voting records for either the Greeley City Council or the Weld County Commissioners and I don’t have the time available to compile this information myself.
If anyone out there is willing to contribute voting record information, even if it’s only for an issue you have a personal interest in, I will be glad to post it.
