Re: “City Council looks to lawyer up”
Didnt the old Council actually vote at one time to get their own attorney? Chris Melcher put the old Council in terrible positions from almost the beginning of his employment. He has lied, gone directly to press to mislead, attends events he has no business attending, reported as ignoring Council requests for timely information, undermined Utilities and has paid out more taxpayer money to outside law firms then any previous attorney all while losing and settling millions of dollars of lawsuits. He was practically fired from Colorado College for dirty dealings and brought his unethical and scheming ways to the City. He needs to be fired.

Re: “City Council looks to lawyer up”
"I warned people..." gosh darn it crank, if we would only listen to you...
The funniest comment of the month comes from crank himself, "...there's something smelly going on down there...". Have you figured it out yet old dude?

Re: “City Council looks to lawyer up”
Something isn't adding up.
Keith King seems to have been painted as a crony of Mayor Botch but suddenly he and the whole council feel a need to have their own legal counsel. Keep digging, there's something smelly going on down there...probably Botch and Melcher.
I warned people not to elect Botch and not to adopt a "strong dictator" charter. By the time we get rid of this clown it's going to cost us more than Rivera's follies.

Re: “City Council looks to lawyer up”
It looks to me like Council's focus is on fighting the mayor instead of managing city business. Or is it simply the Indy's attempt to make it seem that way?

Anschutz killed Jackson as sure as he has killed the Gazette.

Re: “Sanders vs. Anschutz ... really”
This is the stupidest trial of all time. Anchutz isn't responsible for Jackson being a crackhead like Whitney Houston or Rick James.

Re: “Sanders vs. Anschutz ... really”
WOW! Who says, "it isn't all about money?!?!?" - because, in reality, "YES IT IS!!!" These two mega-rich people will duke it out and fight to the death because of the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. Yes, IT REALLY IS ABOUT $MONEY$ - for EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET.

Re: “Pitching City Council! to HBO”
C'mon, Bill- it's still the longest running tragicomedy in local history. We should be proud that we each had bit parts in the show years ago. And Scott - who else could play you? Maybe the young DeNiro "You talkin' to me??!!"

Re: “Pitching City Council! to HBO”
Will it be a comedy, drama, chick flick, gay flick, tragedy, or action adventure series?

Re: “Pitching City Council! to HBO”
John, obviously you're not a member of the CSA! ;-)
"City Council" would probably play well here in COS as a reality show, but I don't think the rest of the country's viewers would get our sense of humor.

Re: “A lesson from Jan Martin’s fate”
Only an idiot would want to serve now on Colorado Springs City Council and get no pay, no respect. City and County is all partisan. There is no fair representation any longer.

Re: “A lesson from Jan Martin’s fate”
Common sense not ideology should guide our city...this is why Jan Martin was not elected.
But King Kong of the City using brut force is not good either.

Re: “A lesson from Jan Martin’s fate”
Perhaps it would have been useful for this article to actually ASK the rookies why they did not want Jan Martin as council president.
Personally I found her way of "leading" on the Memorial Hospital issue to be both impetuous and financially misguided - especially given the handling of severance payments and the incomplete outcome of the PERA situation. I am glad she is no longer in such a position.

Re: “Pitching City Council! to HBO”
At least the old group didnt lay down for Bach or his dirty attorney. Watching this Council is like watching paint dry.
