No attempt at plurality, open, transparent government, or representation, or democracy. Carefully constructed like some neocon pep rally. Only those that would benefit financially from the federal teat were invited and of course all kissed the appropriate ring and ass. This should ahve been a public forum and with proper pre-planning and notice, would have filled the city auditorium or some large venue. If Salazar can't see beyond the lust for earmarks and pork barrel federal dollars in town at the cost of the total destruction of the poorest county in the state, then he doesn't derserve his office. If he can't see the answer is nothing, to his question of "what's changed?" since the BRAC said 2 years ago that concluded that even with all the brigades moved to Fort Carson, they would need no more training land, then he doesn't deserve his office. If he can't read in their own After Action Report form the invasion, that they don't even mention any role of the PCMS in training for that "success", then he doesn't deserve his office. He needs to get out of the middle of the road and off the fence. This is a deal breaker. It was a disgusting display.
