Shouldn't the state and local authorities be charged with withholding services paid for and dereliction of duty? This citizen was doing their job for them.

Nice try, but there's almost always a government unaccountability (oh, sorry, "immunity") clause. You have to prove deliberate, willful malfeasance in order to make any charges stick. Merely not doing their jobs isn't enough, at least not here in CO.

The gob'mint knows best and will protect and take care of you.

At least I was born free.

Good morning (-:

This is ridiculous! If a bear shows up here, I will kill it & cook it.
And If peta shows up I will invite them to lunch...
The officials (who are all knowing) may come to dinner...

...just love this state we live in...sheesh!

Bear Bump!

Good thing I live in Jersey City. No bears here. Just two-legged predators.

Serially, is the state nuts? Oh wait, yes, it is.

What can you say about a state that allows a last minute substitution in a US Senate race becuase the Democrat candidate is losing.
