RED HANDED: Jeffco Union Caught Using School Resources to Campaign for Tax Increases ( Colorado )
Colorado Peak Politics ^ | June 9, 2015

A couple of weeks ago, we reported that the war waged by the Jeffco teachers union against school district staff, particularly those in the communications office, was the most vitriolic in history. We couldn’t figure out why the union would be such abusive bullies to staff members – not even elected officials. And, now, the reason is clear. Documents recently uncovered show that the teachers union and other school staff were using the Jeffco Schools communications department as a de facto campaign headquarters – and had been since at least 2003 (see last picture of memo).

With a contentious election coming up, the union desperately needs the communications department to help shape and promulgate its messaging as it did in 2012. The communications shop, for the first time in history, is filled with folks who haven’t sworn allegiance to the crumbling union. The union needs this asset back under its control.

Below are emails from the department in 2012 when the communications department used school resources to rally the troops to pass a mill levy (read: property tax increase) to benefit…the school district. If this isn’t illegal, it certainly isn’t ethical or right. Jeffco taxpayers should be up in arms.
