Jeffco BOC (also DCD, Planning Commission, and related) -- Unbelievable what we've been reading and hearing. What insanity and inanity is this? Our local electeds and bureaucrats apparently deaf now, as well as blind, if not considerably compromised and manipulable. Your position is more than careless and untenable, it is dangerous at multiple levels -- letting the mad dogs of war loose onto the peninsula's backyards and neighboring regions -- as if there's not way too much of that already. Military, industrial, commercial, "legal", and political "interests" have all been shoving hard to prepare and inure the public to the 24/7 presence of the war machine in our lives -- everywhere/anywhere/anytime.  I'm sure you are quite aware of this. And still you caved. Now your intent is to green-light, in effect escalate the war. The reason proffered is that you're shy of "fake news" and lawsuits, amenable to Hunsucker's manipulative fear- mongering and elbowing. The dishonesty and misdirects are palpable. Are you not the ones getting faked-out? So, given the moratorium, what changed? Now cow-towing to an affront like D'Amico? And to whatever larger forces arrayed behind such as he? What's the whole story? Plainly such a position is very much in-synch with the bloated bankster-driven, weapons- industry/military madness and overreach sweeping away what's left of an entire world.

If there's anything left of ethical/moral substance and courage left within you, as well compassion for this sad/ailing planet -- then do the right thing. Send the strongest statement of forbiddance to D'Amico&co, and the military machine -- that this madness will not come to fruition in Jeffco -- period. Shame. C'mon. Look yourselves in the mirror. Past time to grow up, wake up, and show up. A big fat NO on this one.
