Well what is the truth ????

OK So which is it? Serious contradictions from Douglas County Assistant County Attorney , Christopher Pratt, slides from Special meeting on 3/31/2026 and contract for land trade !

The county's pushing hard on the Zebulon Regional Sports Complex—46.5 acres from the old DuPont/Chemours site—claiming it's good to go after a 2022 CDPHE conditional closure letter. But that letter ties safety to an active Notice of Environmental Use Restrictions (NEUR), banning digging or disturbance in capped zones, with no "unrestricted use" stamp. Then there's the 2023 site investigation Douglas County authorized: per CBS Colorado's October 15, 2025 article (https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-county-agrees-to-land-transfer-mega-sports-complex), it found soil contamination including PFAS, lead, and asbestos-containing materials on the overlapping "Option 1" parcel for the transfer. Commissioner Abe Laydon downplayed it as just a "small section" PFAS water issue, no ground concerns—but why no full report released? Even county assistant attorney Christopher Pratt questioned in a June 26, 2025 email: "Are they aware of the environmental issues on this site?" No real answer, just approvals. The county refuses to hand over that 2023 probe details publicly—despite history showing arsenic and lead way over safe levels in spots—so which is it: truly clean, or rushed past risks for the billion-dollar sports payoff?

Distortion or Desperation ?

 When checking my mail I came across a couple of political advertisement sent to me . I read it and immediately said " this is not true" and ripped it and threw it away . We all know how I feel about transparency and truth. I got it back out , got the tape , taped it back and I am writing this now . I actually had another connect the dots planned but this needs air .  Lets start with the first think that jumps out at me ! ​ The campaign flyer claims John Diak “supported Pride Fest in Parker” and “voted to change public indecency laws to allow women to walk topless on the streets of Parker.” Here are the facts: In August 2022, a drag performer’s silicone breastplate was briefly exposed during an aerial routine at Douglas County PrideFest on the Douglas County Fairgrounds. That incident was at the county level and led to changes in fairgrounds policy the following year. Separately, in September 2022, the Parker Town Council voted to update its own public indecency ordinance to ...

A commitment to transparency and truth !

Why I Started This Blog: A Commitment to Truth and Transparency I want to be perfectly clear about why I started this blog: it’s about truth. Truth is the foundation of everything. It reveals a person’s integrity and tells you whether you can trust them—or whether you even want to engage with them. That’s why this blog has nothing to do with politics in the partisan sense until it does ! At the end of the day, people are either trustworthy or they lie. Sometimes those lies are meant to spare feelings. Other times, they’re for personal gain, appearances, money, or no reason at all. This blog is my stand for truth and transparency. I deeply believe in both, and I have zero tolerance for people who lie for personal advantage. When you bring politics and power into the mix, the stakes get much higher. Public officials are supposed to remain neutral and act in the best interest of the people they represent. When those with power choose deception instead, it becomes dangerous. That’s exactly...

What a surprise !

On March thirty-first, twenty twenty-six, Douglas County Commissioners held a special business meeting that sealed the fate of the Zebulon Regional Sports Complex—without a single resident vote. They approved  over $12 million dollars in taxpayer cash for infrastructure like grading, roads, and utilities. All unanimous, all fast-tracked. I showed up ready to speak against it. The sign-up sheet outside the Hearing Room had two columns: "for" and "opposed." I was first on "opposed"—name, and everything. But when public comment rolled around? I never got called. It felt cherry-picked as commissioner George Teal was in charge of the sign in sheets , silencing voices that questioned the rush.  I filed a CORA request for that sheet—proof I was there first, proof I was ignored. Today they told me: "We don't have it. No such documents exist." Really? A public meeting, no record? That stinks. Then came the award: SR Construction LLC got the nod. Fresh...
