There has been almost no discussion, and certainly no consideration, of the will of the people of District 3.

Sean Paige absolutely does not represent even a large minority of the residents of the District. Council had no regard for our right to representation in choosing this radical reactionary. It was yet another disgusting act by a Council that has no regard or respect for the people they were elected to represent.

We have had what is essentially one-party rule in our city and county for more than 50 years. There is no dissent, no competition, no sense of urgency to provide the best to the electorate when only one party runs everything – and it doesn’t matter if that party is Communist (Cuba), Socialist (Mexico) or Radical republican (El Paso County and Colorado Springs( – the result is the same: Corruption, sloth, contempt for the voters.

This slap in the face should be a final wake up call. It is time for a change.
