The Rocky Mountain News continues it’s series supporting Mayor J-Hic’s bond proposals. Mary Smith, Chair of the Denver GOP has spoken out publicly and spoken with reporters about her opposition to what she calls “this alphabet-soup grab for cash.” Her comments and that of other well know opponents to the bond proposals is no where to be found in the series. Ballots are scheduled to be mailed to voters October 12.

A routine budget briefing unexpectedly turned into a scolding Monday for Mayor John Hickenlooper's stunned chief of staff.
Several Denver City Council members chided Kelly Brough about the administration's failure to give them a heads-up about proposed reductions in hours next year at 11 recreation centers, some of which are in Denver's poorest neighborhoods.

"I don't know what we've done to earn that level of disrespect," said Councilwoman Judy Montero.

I just sent this email to J-Hic:

Dear Mayor Hickenlooper,

I see your bettergovernment.org website has been taken down,
so I'm contacting your directly. (Why has the website that was
created to support your bond proposals been killed?)

I'm President of the Denver South Optimists Club. We meet each
Wednesday for lunch at Perkin's at Buchtel & S. Colorado Blvd.

Next week we will be discussing your bond proposals. We have someone
who will be speaking against them, would you or someone else be able
to join us?

John

I just got this back from Mayor's office:

Dear Mr. Wren,

On behalf of Mayor Hickenlooper, thank you for writing. I’m thinking that maybe you typed in the wrong web address. The website that you may be referring to is www.betterdenver.org. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
Mary Crosswright
Executive Assistant
Office of Mayor John W. Hickenlooper

When the .com address didn't work, I did a Google search, couldn't find
this .org address, and there is no link on the Denver City Website that
I could see. And I wonder why they aren't encouraging online discussion
on the site?
