Anyone know if there is a weld county Libertarian party affiliate?
A non-profit group in my area is trying to put a DDA on the ballot in November for my (mostly residential, historical) neighborhood. I was unimpressed with the 'consultants' who presented the information about the property tax increase/supposed benefits to the area. What are your experiences with Downtown Development Authorities (DDAs)? Do you know of any credible research or case studies showing if DDA funds are spent locally, economic benefits, spending oversight, etc.?
Hey peoples, I'm just curious if there are any Boulderite Libertarians left...? I've been in Florida for the past fifteen years and would love to meet some like-minded people.
I just found this sub, I am kind of disappointed it’s not bigger or more active. It would be really nice to find some fellow libertarians in the Denver area
A letter to the Board this evening:
Hello Board, I am writing with a concern - not to make a huge deal, so please take this is in the spirit in which it was intended. We all have a vested interest in a successful outcome. I had asked if any amount of time would be given for public comment which was unilaterally denied by the committee chair. It is certainly the right of the committee to deny such a request, but not the committee chair, and that is so against the culture of our party. The idea is to make members partners in the project so that there is less dispute at convention. I have chaired many many such committees and have never denied public comment, it is counterproductive.
Lastly, committees do not get to make their own rules. They operate under the same rules as the parent organization (in this case either the board or the convention) both of which are formal. These informal deliberations are not appropriate. While "consensus" sounds great, there is a reason it is not permitted - shyer members feel like they have to go along to get along. They can certainly consider seriatim (by paragraph) by each block has to be voted on. Rights to reconsideration are implicated among other procedural issues.
The affiliates, including Douglas, have the right to believe that the committees are being operated according to our rules, so I ask that due attention be paid to this, and that the committee, not the committee chair, decide on public comment.
Thank you and have a great evening. I ask that this please be forwarded to the C&B committee members for their consideration. Any committee member can call me at 561.523.2250.
... anyone still around?
