Apparently all Lamborn had to do was submit a name for a USPS building to qualify as a "leader" in Blaha's book. (I don't think the Monument and Palmer Lake post offices have been named; someone tell Lamborn to get cracking!

5 stars - "Superior"
4 stars – “Excellent”
3 ½ stars – “Good”
3 stars – “Adequate”
2 stars – “Problematic”
1 star – “Troubled”

and Weiss gives Integrity a “D” on theirs:

A = excellent
B = good
C = fair
D = weak
E = very weak
+ = the upper third of each grade range
- = the lower third of each grade range

It’s time for you and others who’ve gulped the Blaha Kool-Aid to drop your disingenuous assertion that Rep. Lamborn is “bashing a local business.” I really doubt Lamborn gives a hoot about Integrity Bank, per se; I imagine he simply used the bank’s performance ratings as just another exhibit to refute Blaha’s self-proclamation that he’s a “leader” and an “expert” (in business).
He (Blaha) sure hasn’t demonstrated to me that he is. All those instances of flouting mandates (filing deadlines)?
