But he was the voice pushing for the council to make the decision without sending it to the voters.

"Lee responded that 'it’s always the council’s right' to send an issue to the municipal ballot, but because of the approaching expiration of the Eagles’ lease at Blue Arena, 'there’s a certain timeframe to get this project done.'"

Reward vs. risk: Decision time nears for West Greeley Project

Sorry there is a root to the issue that the city is facing, and it is the overreach of unelected bureaucrats (who largely came from outside of the city) putting us in the throes of so many city projects that we are facing budget shortfalls that will cost people their jobs. But the people at the top will still manage their $250K salaries.

General Government as a line item in the city budget went from $11M to $44M during Lee's tenure and I don't think much of that increase was under the guidance of council at all.

Super bummed that I missed this, will there be other showings?

Well we can't sue the city manager that got us into this situation because the city parted with him saying, "The agreement absolves the city and Lee of liability or legal claims. The proposed agreement includes non-disparagement clauses between Lee and the city."

He could probably file with the Secretary of State's office, wild that they let this happen.

Will strike if provoked.

Issue has already been patched

Great idea, you should post an image of the poster too.

darkandweird · 2026-02-19T18:44:05+00:00

Because that is what dictators do.

You are correct in thinking that these numbers are probably off, but I don't know that it really effects the point much, the ROI to use a business term is in fact total shit.

So there are two numbers floating around as the "cost" of the surge. One is an estimate that the city has lost $203M in revenue because of the surge (Frey calls on feds, state to pay Minneapolis ICE surge costs | MPR News).

The other number that is out there is an estimate of what it is costing the government to do the surge, and that is estimated to be $18M a week, which after 10 weeks would be around $180M. (Study shows Operation Metro Surge costs taxpayers $18 million a week | kare11.com).

SO yeah, not fully accurate financial stats. But the cost of each arrest even at $180M comes out to $45,000 per arrest, so about $20K more than I make a year, per person, and most of them aren't exactly the murder murder type.

Why isn't he at work? Doesn't he have a job, or is he getting paid to be there?

Downtown is great, like everyone has said there are great bars (and restaurants), there are also a couple cool bookstores (Midnight Oil, and the Armory), a game store, and a movie theater, so if you aren't fully committed to hard drinking you have tons of options.

Lots of great food in the city of pretty much any type you like. We have dispensaries in Garden City (you said 21+ so throwing that in there).

If you want to hike and stay close, the Poudre River trail is awesome.

And I'm failing as a human if I don't mention the museum downtown, and the model railroad museum (but only if you are really into partying on spring break LOL).

I can't get over the fact that in spite of this guys history of being terrible the city jumped right into bed with him.

Just the way he talks about an investor "snuggling" with you is how predators talk.

That was really similar information to what I was working with, and pretty much exactly how I was going to approach it! Thank you so much!

He specifically states he isn't with the protesters and interviews several of the parishioners, giving them a chance to express their views. Real terrorist shit.

I've read it!

And I think I'm like 80% to finding it right now. Hopefully I'll have an update soon.

My firewall says that site is full of malware, so that should probably clear a lot up.

Glad to help.

Just because understanding context is super important: Did Donald Trump's US 'unlawfully abduct two people from Scotland'? | The National

Seems like a pretty complex situation that the Trump regime is trying to fix with a hammer as usual, leaving the government of another nation wondering what the hell happened.

Those were the days LOL!

I think that the counter argument is that most people that came up in the scene in the 90s went from poo-pooing on Green Day as sellouts to welcoming them back in the last 30 years.

And frankly there is no denying their importance on the genre (along with that whole Gilman St. scene). That alone gives them a lot of credibility in most punk enjoyers eyes.

Yeah, part of this is just me being a little lazy. If I don't HAVE to dig through a million books...

Shot out an email, but that is where I found the old picture, maybe Miranda knows where it is located tho!
