Back to Politics — BRPoCG - 2

Additional thoughts on the first meeting of the Blue Ribbon Panel of City Government (BRPoCG).

Maybe I should have said, “In a day or two,” instead of “later today”. I was OBE (Overcome By Events) after posting that initial item of similar title. At any rate, here is an additional thought on the initial meeting of the BRPoCG.

There was mention that the panel might want to hear from the Right Honorable Mayor of Denver, Colorado, John Hickenlooper.

I’m not sure WHY someone thinks this might be a good idea, other than the fact that Denver is the largest city in Colorado. But Denver is an ‘odd bird’ in terms of governance. Why? Because Denver’s government combines both city AND county government into one entity. They are not like Pueblo where the city and county government are separate. So whatever he would have to say would not bear too much on whatever form of government Pueblo might want to adopt. It is impossible for the city and county of Pueblo to be united into one entity. This is especially true with the other metropolitan districts in the county, i.e., Beulah, Rye, Colorado City, Pueblo West. Each of them has their own identity and governance and I have doubts that they’d like to join with the city of Pueblo in a monolithic system. They would likely look upon Pueblo having an overwhelming say in their local governance as Puebloans would look upon Denver telling it’s citizens how to deal with their fireplaces or using augmented mobility fuels and get their auto emissions checked.

So why this interest in Hickenlooper? Why not get a mayor of a city who has a similar situation as we have here in Pueblo city-county to speak?

1. All throughout August, our members of Congress are back in town. Insurance companies and partisan attack groups are stirring up fear with false rumors about the President’s plan, and it’s extremely important that folks like you speak up now,” writes Mitch Stewart, director of the group. testking 642-481 “So we’ve cooked up an easy, powerful way for you to make a big impression: Office Visits for Health Reform. All this week, OFA members like you will be stopping by local congressional offices to show our support for insurance reform. You can have a quick conversation with the local staff, tell your personal story, or even just drop off a customized flyer and say that reform matters to you.” Community activists, organized by Massachusetts Communities Action Network, also plan to go Tuesday to home offices of six members of Congress: Senators Edward M. Kennedy and John F. Kerry, and Representatives Michael Capuano, Barney Frank, Stephen Lynch and Jim McGovern. Even though Massachusetts has its own landmark healthcare law that has extended coverage to 97 percent of residents, the network says a national healthcare overhaul could still help the Bay State by providing federal assistance to allow the state to cover more moderate-income families, by improving Medicare for seniors, and by helping subsidize coverage for 30,000 legal immigrants. Meanwhile, testking 642-611 faith groups backing a health overhaul that provides universal care are launching a 40-day lobbying campaign. The effort by People of Faith for Health Reform includes a new national cable TV ad in which several clergy talk about special interests fighting reform. “But God has given us a spirit not of fear, but of love and action,” says the Rev. Stevie Wakes of Olivet Institutional Baptist Church in Kansas City, Kan.
