Important issues to me that were not on your list:
Support whenever possible the development and use of alternate energy sources, mass transit (green as possible) and incentives for solar power in homes and businesses. Cultivation of green businesses to locate here and provide good jobs.
The Loveland Town Council recently voted to provide heathcare coverage for senior officials in Loveland about to retire. After the first vote was turned down, a second vote was taken (guess they didn't get the "desired" result the first time around). The second vote passed by Mayor Pielin casting the breaking vote "FOR" TAXPAYER DOLLARS (projected $307,000 over 10 year period) going to select city individuals for their retirement healthcare coverage.
I, for one, am sick and tired of supporters of large corporations (McWhinney, Don Morostica,owner of Loveland Commercial and over half of our town council being owners of construction companies) dictating how the hard working citizen tax monies are spent in this town. We need more minimum wage citizens representing the town majority.
The ordinary Joe or Josephine are trying to hold down 2 jobs, sometimes more, to feed their families, provide a roof over their heads, and keep gasoline in their vehicles. Heathcare and dental care are an UNREALIZED DREAM for most families in Loveland. I am outraged at the audacity of the city council to disregard the reality of the taxpayer in favor of healthcare for a few select fat cats in city government.
I would like to point out the members on the city council who voted AGAINST the heath coverage:
Walt Skowron, Daryl Klassen, Ken Solt and Cecil Gutierrez.
Thank you gentlemen for showing concern for the less illustrious citizens of our community.
I would suggest everyone remember who supports the taxpayers at the next city council/mayor election!
I would also like to point out that Ken Bennett was instrumental in bringing Gov. Ritter to Loveland to hold a non-partisan town hall meeting on healthcare in Colorado at the Rialto theater last fall. We need people like Ken standing up for the little guy/gal for a "much appreciated" change! A vote for Ken is a vote for taxpayer representation.
