City seeks input on becoming its own county

Jail cap among reasons for query

by Tammy KranzStaff Writer

December 02, 2011 | 09:53 AMThornton will test the waters with residents this month to see if there is interest in the citybreaking away from Adams County and becoming its own county and citysimilar toBroomfield and Denver.

The county question will be asked of 400 registered voters who will be called as part of the city's annual citizen surveyDec. 1-11.

Ward 4 Councilman Randy Drennen suggested the question during the council's Nov. 22 planning session whilediscussing the questions on the survey. He said because of the competing interests between the city and Adams Countyregarding finances, the question should be asked.

A recent competing interest has been the Adams County commissioners' approval of a cap of inmates that municipalitiescan house at the county jail. If a city goes beyond that cap, the city will be charged a daily fee of $45. Many area councilmembers feel this is double-dipping from the county, since residents already pay taxes to maintain the jail.

"If there is no interest (to become a county) at this point it'll impact how we go forward," said Ward 3 CouncilwomanLynne Fox.

After the session, Ward 3 Councilwoman Beth Humenik said there were pros and cons of a city becoming a county, andbefore council could moved forward to examine those, it had to get an idea if there was general interest.

The National Research Center Inc. will conduct the phone survey of approximately 100 citizens within each of the four

wards. The $21,000 fee will come from the general fund.

The survey this year will be different from surveys of the past because this one will be a national standardized survey.This enables the company to compare Thornton's results against other communities.

There are approximately 40 questions on the standardized survey, ranging from how respondents rate the quality of life inThornton to whether they had been a victim of crime in the past year to impressions they have of city workers.

The city gets three custom questions, which is where the county question will be asked. The other two custom questionsdeal with how respondents feel about a tax to finish FasTracks, including the North Metro Line, and how they feel about atax to renew and extend the city's sales tax dedicated to parks and open space, which expires in 2018.

Assistant City Manager Joyce Hunt was in favor of doing the standardized testing this year so the city could compare itsresults to other cities that compete with Thornton for jobs and retail.

"It's something we have never been able to do and I think it will be quite interesting," she said.

The council is expected to get the results after the first of the year.

Colorado Obama team already deep into 2012 battle

plan

Intensely focused advance teams work voter databases and meet with citizens one on one.ByJohn TomasicFriday, December 02, 2011 at 9:14 am

GREELEYThe presidential election is ten months away but, for many hardcore Obama volunteers like thedozen or so people who met here in a garage on the Monday night before Thanksgiving, the campaign has never

stopped.

Joe Perez, a retired city worker, is the owner of thisgathering space, a clapboard nerve center of northernColorado Obama politics tucked into a cul-de-sacbetween a maze of wooden fences. The interior isplastered with political signs in English and Spanish.One stretches across the entire back wall: The road

to the presidency goes through Greeley it announcesin big-brush block letters. The volunteers point outthe sign and laugh at its ironic grandiosity but theyalso semi-seriously embrace it.

Theyll tell you that Colorado is a pivotal swing stateand that it reflects key demographic and economicchanges taking place throughout the American west.Although the Northern Colorado Tea Party, for

example, is one of the largest Tea Party groups in the country and held repeat candidate forums in the Greeleyarea during the 2010 election season, its familiar rallying crieslike We want our country backeither fail to

resonate with or offend the kind of people who are destined to eventually dominate the region. Over the lastdecades, large numbers of coastal and university-town Americans have come here to work in expanding techand research industries and, together with the growing mostly still working-class Latino population, are tippingthe states formerly red-libertarian political profile to a shade of purple that places public good at least onsomething like par with individual liberty as a top government priority.

In fact, at a glance, the volunteers in Joes garage could be northern Colorado Tea Partiers. These arent

stereotypical fresh-faced Obamatron hipsters; these are politicized older people. Outwardly, the two mostglaring differences between these volunteers and local Tea Partiers are that they are an ethnically mixed bunchand that they are intensely organized on election campaign work. They are not discussing the news or politics orthe failings of the mediaor anything else. Theyre on task. Its nearly a year from Election Day and a holiday

week and yet theres almost no time being wasted in this garage.

Material from the national organization, Obama for America (OFA), spreads out on long foldout tables coveredwith red-checkered tablecloths. Laptops are open with browsers showing the My Barack Obama or My-BO andDemocratic Party VoteBuilder databases. People are typing from the beginning to the end of the meeting.Everyone knows what theyre here to do.

As the meeting progresses, Perez fills out a big white-board calendar set in front of the car door.

A woman named Trish updates a list of thousands of Weld County residents names with answers to a host ofground-game questions: Who seemed receptive to the message? Who wants to volunteer? Who changed aphone number? Who needs to register to vote?

Pat Bruner, the meeting facilitator, works off an agenda cheat-sheet provided by the national campaign, tickingoff items and adding notes for next week.

Dates are being set for face-to-face coffees with potential volunteers. Follow-up pre-printed OFA postcards are

being addressed to be mailed out the week after Thanksgiving. Phone banking time is scheduled to talk to thevoters receiving the postcards. There is a Review and Preview meeting set for the middle of December, wherethe group will look back on progress made and ahead to goals that must be achieved in the first weeks of thenew year.

Ten minutes after the meeting starts, the volunteers are all on their phones, looking mainly at this stage to lineup more organizers and swell the ranks of the northern Colorado advance teams. Those not typing notes arescribbling away with OFA pens.

The Greeley team has been meeting here to work exclusively on the campaign since August. Nearly all of themworked to elect Obama in 2008 and most have been working to gain public support for Obamas policy agenda

since he was inaugurated. To do that, they have essentially been using the same organizing techniques and as abonus keeping the campaigns network of contacts fresh.

We just keep our eye down the road. We know what part we play in the bigger picture. Its person to person,phone call after phone call.

Dissipated electricity

Perezs story of how he recently became involved in Democratic politics is typical of the genre. He moved to

Greeley from Denver 30 years ago looking for a smaller, agricultural, more culturally conservative community,something more like western Nebraska where he grew up. Greeley suits him but there were drawbacks.

Its so [politically] conservative up here, I felt I couldnt really speak my convictions, he said. I was neverpolitical. After Vietnam, I put a McGovern sticker on my car. That was my first political action outside thevoting booth. Then I saw Obamas speech at the 2004 Democratic convention. He told his story. He said Were

not African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans. Were all just Americans.

Well, Ive been called a wetback, a beaner, a spic, Perez said, counting off the names on his fingers. Ivebeen called everything, but never an American. Thats all I ever wanted to be, an American. Obama electrifiedme about the inclusiveness of the American people.

That variety of Obama electricity has diminished now that he is also familiar to Americans as the captain of a

dysfunctional Washington at a time of crisis. For the 99 percent, the national economy three years after Obamatook office is still limping along, throwing up the kind of high unemployment figures its easy to imagine would

dance like hooded reapers through the dreams of any sitting president. In response, the campaign is looking inpart to provide context for voters through messaging that focuses on the alternative realities any of the likelyRepublican candidates would have brought about.

Perez says one of the main hurdles hes coming up against in talking to voters is disillusionment, where citizenswho cast their first-ever ballot did so for Obama last election and have come to believe it didnt make any

difference. Washington is still Washington: the games go on as usual there while the vast majority of Americanscontinue to suffer coast to coast.

For these dispirited voters, Perez delivers a list of examples of Republican actions taken over the past threeyears that he believes demonstrates a cynical obstructionist approach to government. He leads with SenateMinority Leader Mitch McConnells statement from January 2009in which he held that the single mostimportant thing [Republicans] want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president. Perezmentions the debt and budget standoffs this year that saw Republicans bringing the nation to the brink of

disaster by refusing to consider raising taxes even on millionaires whendebt default loomed and Standard andPoors delivered an historic downgrading of the nations credit rating. Same thing, says Perez, when you look atwhat just happened with the congressional super committee, which was formed out of desperation to negotiate acompromise budget but failed to do so.

Theres a vision of an America that guards the living wage, the opportunity of education, that looks after the

well-being of its citizens, Perez said. Thats Obamas vision. I share that vision and I think most Americansshare that vision, but theres just a lack of cooperation to get things done.

The other side doesnt seem to care about what they call the bottom feeders, [people] who should all just takea shower and get a job. The American people want to work, they want to keep their homes. Unemployment

benefits put food on the table but they dont pay rent. People want jobs. These are our family members andfriends. Theyre Americans.

As Jim Rutenberg, writing on the campaign message for the New York Times last weekend, put it: If 2008 wasabout YesWe Can and limitless possibility, 2012 will be to some degree about why we couldnt (Republicanintransigence), and why we shouldnt, at least when it comes to anything the Republican nominee proposes

(His party got us here in the first place).

Message and mechanics

For now, however, the message seems less important than the mechanics, and on that score the campaign is

notching major successes.

By mid-October, the donor-ticker at the Obama for America website rolled past seven digits. More than amillion people have given to the campaign, a rate of giving that outpaces the record set by the first Obamapresidential campaign. In the third quarter, the re-election effort raked in $42 million and received 257,000 first-time donations. The average amount donated was $55.

By mid-November, the campaign celebrated its millionth one-on-one conversation with voters, a mark of theold-school approach to election politics taken by the Obama team that prioritizes the ground game and anachievement that buoys campaign staffers despite the lousy economy and shifting poll numbers.

Our opponents simply lack the broad base of grassroots support that we have, campaign managerJimMessina said at the time. They dont believe in it. They dont have any interest in the kind of politics that bringeveryday people together to make real change in this country.

According to a November campaign memo, the national team also confirmed it had signed on its thousandthvolunteer neighborhood team leader. The author of the memo announced successes around the country thatincluded a day of action in Colorado that drew 537 volunteers who worked from 58 staging locations to

arrange more than 100 one-on-one meetings with Obama supporters and independent voters.

Obama for America presently has two offices open in Colorado, one in Denver and one in Fort Collins, and ishiring staff to cover the entire state. Two priorities that have taken shape in the state, according to the Greeleyvolunteers and campaign officials, is to protect voting rights and to reach out to women. Neither priority comesas a surprise.

Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler has made national news for seeking the authority to purge thestates election rollsof voters he believes may be illegally registered non-citizens or illegal immigrants and foracting to prevent county clerks from mailing ballots to inactive votersor legally registered voters who failed

to vote in the 2010 election. He has met stiff resistance in these efforts but Democratic sources routinely refer tohim as the statesKatherine Harris, the controversial Republican Florida secretary of state in 2000 who declaredthat George Bush had defeated Al Gore and who halted recount efforts despite the fact that a margin of onlyroughly 500 votes separated the candidates and that widespread allegations of irregularities plagued the ballotcasting and counting processes.

In 2010, by almost all accounts, women decided the Colorado U.S. Senate race that pitted Democrat MichaelBennet against Republican Ken Buck. Perez said the Greeley Obama volunteers worked on that race intensely, arace Buck seemed poised to run away with. In the end, however, he turned off women in droves with his strongstand against abortion and his mishandling as Weld County District Attorney of a rape case in which heappeared to blame the victim, arguing that the assault charges werent worth pursuing and doing so in crude

language that betrayed a retrograde view of sex crimes and gender relations in general.

The Greeley volunteer meeting facilitator on Monday, Pat Bruner, a multi-ethnic mainly German-Japanesemoma typical Heinz 57 American, as she puts itgrew up in Fort Collins and worked for the Obamacampaign in 2008. She said she has a big family and feels the need to work to put in place a government thatembraces the future, that isnt mired in the battles of the past. She said many of the voters she is meeting with

share similar concerns.

We spend a lot of time just sitting down with people, talking. Theyre worried but theyre also very open and

positive about the message. We [volunteers] just keep our eye down the road. We know what part we play in thebigger picture. Its person to person, phone call after phone call. Its not glamorous. Its hard work.
