Edjglass920 0 #708 April 15, 2015 Ingrid Moore is also the wife of council member Jeff Moore, Jeff received about $700 from members of cqs. While that amount is not in line with Koch brothers donations, his campaign only cost about $4000. He is the council member for that ward of the city and has a duty to represent the businesses(mile-hi) in the ward and not just the few people who donated to his campaign. It is no surprise that every comment he makes in the paper is pro Kim Gibbs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingRhenquest 1 #709 April 15, 2015 JWestWait, if you move into a house next to an airport that has an established skydiving company, isn't that exactly what you are signing up for? I'm sure they were patting themselves on the back for getting a house in Boulder County for cheap. One has to wonder if they noticed the airplane noise when they were looking at the house. I was looking at houses on a Saturday with my room mate, so they'd have been turning loads with the otter and king air every 20 minutes. Didn't particularly notice them. I wanted something a bit closer to the airport, myself. I'd live right on the flight line, if I could. Nothing but HOAs and condo crabs on that side of town, though. I got in on a nice place in Southmoor park. 10 minutes from the airport, right on the otter's flight path on jump run, just dropped Longmont's gigabit fiber in. Road noise, the neighbor's dogs and that damned train are all louder. Fucking train woke up up at 1:30 and 2:30 last night. Then a police car going down 287 set the neighbor's dogs off. There's some other single engine plane that goes over that's a lot louder, as well, but none of them fly that late. About a quarter of the time I think I hear the otter, it ends up being someone mowing their lawn. Longmont's a pretty damn loud place, but airplane noise is pretty far down the list.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

There's certainly nothing preventing local citizens from very publicly urging Moore to recuse himself (if that hasn't been done already). The glare of public scrutiny, and all that, etc...
