Sure. Which bill? Sorry. I don’t get on X very often lately. Yesterday’s bill, 1250 was a good bill except for the defunding of the police part and then wiping out their fund to create a new one completely controlled by the Democrats instead. Gee. Nothing could go wrong there. 🙄.
I was very upset with them adding this and I asked, begged, them to take that part out. I would have been 100% yes. I even stated this in my closing.
I started the entire this out as a yes as I thought it was like last years bill, which I was a yes on. BUT I was basically lied to, straight to my face, that “no, it’s not taking money away from Law Enforcement”. Even asked me to show in the bill where it was possible. So I did. I was told they would take that out. THEN later not only did they not take that part out, they doubled down on it by completely shutting down the program fund, creating a whole new fund they, Dems control instead of LE and then transferring ALL of the funds (which they thought was a $1m). Ended up only being $300k. They were quite disappointed. Go figure. So not only were they defunding an extremely important program that LE uses to help support victims, parole transitions, public emergencies, their own operations and investigations plus a ton of other public safety projects, they were permanently dismantling it and expanding government into a new program they had control over and that would end up paying for illegals in the mix of it. Now, if you TRUST Dems to actually, productively and transparently take and use $$$ responsibility and what they “promise”…then I have some beachfront property in the dessert to sell you! Lol.
I completely agreed with that there should be a conviction to permanently seize someone’s property. 100%. I COULD NOT stand by and let the Dems have their dream of defunding our police and basically steal or “reappropriate” said money into their own grubby hands. Where once they get it, they’ll continue to steal and misuse it. I’ve personally watched these people rip off the people of CO on a daily basis. No way. And I don’t care if they want to take just $1 from our law enforcement. Nope. Not on my watch. So yes, I completely had intended to be a yes on this bill...but when they side hustled, lied about and then snuck in the defunding part…I was pissed. I don’t play games. Period. They played and I refused.
The $ in that fund was all from legitimate criminal forfeitures. Not innocent individuals they want you to think. Makes for good drama tho if they can get you to believe it. They couldn’t show even one person whose assets were part of it. We asked tons of times. They kept coming up with shit that happened in other states, not CO. Not to mention all the hoops and red tape that it takes to even do the forfeitures for actual criminals. But no one wants to hear that part as it chips away at the narrative and objective. DEFUND the police. It was damn near a sort of “police derangement syndrome”. Just weird.
I know that’s a lot. Not sure if I left anything out. If I did I don’t mean to. But you wanted to know what or why I voted the way I did and this was the gist of it. As always, I am ALWAYS open to discussion. If I’m wrong I will always admit it…this time I believe I did right. Judiciary is brutal but I keep my nose out of the drama if I can as it just clouds judgement IMO. heck, if you want to sit and have a coffee or just give me a call. I’m open to that as well. I try my best and fight until I can’t stand some nights…sometimes 12-14 hours all at once. I truly am here for us. I’m an open book and will not BS ya. This I hope many have learned about me. Excuse any typos. It’s late.
