Just so everyone is aware. Silverton is a town of 663 people in the middle of nowhere in Colorado.

The County as a whole only has 728 people and it votes 60% Democrat.

Isn’t this a good reason for the citizens to rise up and run this Commie shitbird out of town on a rail?

Good to know that even a 60% Dem county, of 663 people, in the middle of nowhere in CO still stand for and SAY our Pledge of Allegiance....to the chagrin of the lefty mayor.

From his now closed webpage.

“Before moving to Silverton I lived in New York for 16 years (and really learned to appreciate how great Colorado is). I began my career as a corporate and finance attorney. In 2013 I moved on to entrepreneurship, first as co-founder of a financial inclusion start-up in Rwanda, and eventually pursued real estate, hospitality, and community design.

I love to ski, mountain bike, rock climb, hike, and stand up paddle board.

My parents Barbara and Steve, and my sister Seanna, also love the mountains.

EDUCATION

Brooklyn Law School, Brooklyn, NY
Juris Doctor, cum laude, June 2007”

Identifying as American is divisive. All federal (American taxpayer) funds must also be divisive. So, remove all federal funding from the city - all of it!

He brought his agenda with him. The county, whether it likes the idea or not....is now dragged into a social justice conflict, and probably the school system will be the next ‘infected’ part of the system.

Divisiveness is a good thing because it brings the rats out of the dark where we can identify them.

Like the mayor.

This guy's well behind the times. I grew up in a town that bordered Brookline,Massachusetts...which is where the Tank Commander,Mike Dukakis,got his start in politics. He was,to be precise,the president of Brookline’s Town Council (or whatever it was called). As President he declared that the Pledge of Allegiance would not be recited. I can't recall if he gave a reason....but knowing him we don't need that to be spelled out for us.

Universal Truth of Life: Positions of power will invariably attract the very last people you would choose to give such power.
