It's the welfare department in Boulder who readily and very easily hand out welfare to these transients--- so they make Boulder their home. it's easy pickins'.

And then we have the "not-for-profits" who make profits off of the bums-- so they stay.

Make no mistake about it--- the change folks give these bums-- is nothing compared to the hand-outs they get from these agencies and the State.

Additionally, we have the problem with these outrageous administrative law judges who are handing out SSI to able-bodied men (mainly)-- but women too--
creating a vast dependent population of loafers.

The problem with all of it--- is the money being doled out to these bums is the taxpayers' hard earned money. Beyond that outrage-- the whole set-up is deliberate. The head honchos, like John Suthers and his crew's agenda is to wipe out the work force of Americans we have and any future generations of our work force--- letting it be taken over by their corporate pals so they can reap their millions off of cheap illegal labor. Then to supplement the illegals' incomes-- the taxpayers are stuck paying them welfare money, food stamps, and medical care. It doesn't just take the anchor baby scheme alone--- Boulder's Department of Housing & Human Services looks the other way on the parents' illegal status and gives them welfare money (taxpayers money)--- schooling them on what to say to be a "refugee" or "asylee." The County Department & the Colorado Department of Human Services offers more programs for illegal aliens than it does for American citizens. Why ? Because they are working it for corporates and big business. Every Colorado, senator, congressman and legislator is in their pocket--- and their all making a bundle of cash off of it.

It's our government---- local, federal and state who are screwing us.

You didn't read what I wrote which is why you went off in another direction.

Dude--- BEFORE they get convicted and maybe go to the slammer------- they live off of taxpayers' dollars by way of welfare. We all know who these repeat offenders are-- the rafts of bums laying around all over town.

Ms Balin (and "friends" whoever they might be)--- has some nerve to hit taxpayers up for anymore than we already are getting ripped off for. And she's not asking-- she wants it to be mandated. Go FISH hon

This kind of ridiculous crap --- I really would rather not know about. Taxpayers "ought to pick up this piece" and pay money for "gifts" to druggies--- 99/9% of whom are already on public assistance. That seems to be a big enough reward. More money from us on this stupid nonsense--- I don't think so.

All gifts and movie tickets to drug offenders--- coming out of the taxpayers' pocket should be STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. And everyone convicted of drug offenses should be booted off the welfare rolls. That would be a good incentive to fly right.

Well said

Wow this is weird--- normally they don't rat each other out--- but, every now and then someone's got to go down-- that's to make people think they're actually doing something about GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES' FRAUD--- which is going on in pretty much everything there is---

they figure if someone in gov gets busted---- people will let it go for awhile about the royal f***ing tax payers are getting.

Karen Stevens' lawyer says she made "some mistakes" in billing--- cuz the medicaid & medicare billing system is so complicated--- that's bull. Getting away with fraudulent billing, double billing or even billing for people who don't exist is simple. Many. many doctors, hospitals & insurance companies have swindled the system for years-- (about 30 years I know of). No one was looking. And they ran into bankruptcy. They all got rich--

Now many people can't get medical--- on Medicare & Medicaid they'll be denials by the State even if it means the person will die. Of course Obongo care would be the final nail in the coffin for many.

But back to the point here, Karen only stole $197, 000 grand--- That's nothing compared to what places like the Colorado Department of Human Services swindle the taxpayers out of in having to support illegal aliens & their families--- plus 90% of the bums who cop welfare but should be working.

No BHP does not check immigrate eligibility. Our legislators give them every out for not doing it too. BHP and our welfare departments can use their "Exceptions" list for doling out Sec 8, welfare and SSI to ineligible immigrants. These agencies ripping off the taxpayers also get to use their "discretion" in deciding who gets what and to slide it all through when it comes to illegal aliens.

We essentially are supporting big businesses work force-- they can profit in paying very low wages--- and then we have to supplement their work force of illegals' incomes through our payment of taxes. The big business and corporate scoundrels are rolling in the billions off of this "arrangement."

Nukes-- how true. It'll just be more taxes for their ridiculous adventures.

Instead of improvements on a 'Transit Center'--- what they really need to do is get a couple of bus lines going in Boulder at night. The HOP doesn't cut it. They have a very iffy-maybe schedule at night-- and you basically will have to wait hours for the bus--- if it will come at all.

After midnite there's no public transportation whatsoever in Boulder or leaving Boulder. If you're out in Lafayette or Longmont and want to get to Boulder--- there's no chance on that on a bus. They aren't running. How backward-- even really small towns say in the Bay Area in Cali have buses that run all night. And they run on schedule.

And then there's the "cultural center" the nit-wit city council is considering-- the big spenders with their ridiculous ideas to keep throwing out OUR MONEY on their dead-end street ideas going nowhere.

As far as Ted is concerned-- he said it was going to be his "gift" to Boulder to send out some of his buffalos. Now we're suppose to pay for it. Ted can keep his buffalos and make his "deals" somewhere else.

If the U.S. Department of Education ever enforced the CFR's & Title IV Regulations on universities and colleges--- which they don't--- and which is why there is such widespread cheating and thievery by institutions of "higher learning" in Title IV FSA -- which by the way is ALL FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS' MONEY--

then the solution to 4/20 would be very simple-- and how to end it would work like this: NO MORE FEDERAL FUNDING UNTIL 4/20 is stopped--- the U.S. Dept. of ED by federal law must terminate CU Boulder's participation in all Title IV FSA programs. Drug use of any kind on campus is prohibited. You can check your Catalogue on that-- CU Boulder administrators.

Here we have "concern" about congregate care zoning designations for facilities for the elderly.

The City Council never made any motion to dispute--- nor had concern about congregate care facilities for the bums when the Carriage House tried to move into the Yokum Building (1724 Broadway)--- a High Hazard Zone which PROHIBITED ANY CONGREGATE CARE FACILITIES ON THAT PROPERTY. What the City Council did was to change the Regulations in their "Amended Ordinance"--- specifically to make way for the Carriage House to be at the Yokum Building property-- which is owned by the City and a wealthy, mogul "land developer." Our group gave them a lot of heat on that--- and it may be that they're going to abandon the idea. That's still up in the air-- and they most probably will make another pitch on it.

But the issues is here--- the City fought viciously to make that coveted Creek property a flop house for the bums and yet-- for the elderly there are more cut backs.

Now, when it comes to senior citizens and elderly folks--- the City Council is concerned about congregate facility zoning designations--- and while, the taxpayers are paying millions to house the "homeless"-- the Council sees fit to raise the age for seniors to be able to get into a retirement home--- from 60 to 65.

And even though the City Council recognizes that there are minimal services for the elderly in retirement facilities-- and there are "just a few housing units which provided an adequate amount of living space"------ no one on the Council felt it necessary to start any development for housing for the senior citizens.

Why ?

Because there's more money in the "chronically homeless" ventures for the City, County and associates.

Just sayin'

The project has already received more than $400,000 from the city-- actually, from taxpayers and $800,000 from Boulder County-- which is all money paid by taxpayers.

and "low income housing tax credits" (funded by the taxpayers) and X amount of millions now and in the future-- again funded by the taxpayers.

On top of the above, add in the welfare handed out to the "homeless" (aka bums)-- which would be 120 million annually in Boulder County--- and one could very easily say these "homeless" folks are getting a lot of preferential treatment and special privilege which is being denied actual protected classes of persons. If anyone has a lawsuit for discriminatory practices by the City & County, it is certainly, the actual physically handicapped (which does not include substance abusers-- given that law does not recognize alcoholism and drug addition as qualifying as a disabled nor handicapped person) --- and then there are the elderly who get less in their pensions and retirement than bums do in welfare.

People who have lived for years in the Lee Hill neighborhood deserve something better than what the City, County and other profiteers in this housing project mix are trying to saddle them with. But, it's all about making money & profit-- which is the ONLY reason we keep seeing their phoney baloney, crock o'slop stories & supposed interest in the bums.
