Mutants?

This may be the year for Elway to run for governor...

I wonder how the veterinarians in Colorado thought about her appointment by the Governor? IMO I can’t think of a more inappropriate appointment than was this woman. This reminds me of Bill Clinton appointing lawyers to positions in agriculture during his administration.

>>>“She’s a friend of first gentleman Marlon Reis, Gov. Jared Polis’ husband. Reis is also an animal rights activist”<<<

>>There’s a lot wrong with that right there.<<

I had to go back and read it two or three times before I FINALLY caught on!

They are indeed hard-working! And very knowledgable.

Because being a lunatic is COMPLICATED! LOL!

How old was this kid when Polis first picked him up?

Colorado has been californicated.

I live in BFE, and was raised on a small family ranch-I guess I must have missed something when I was taught animal husbandry, because I was never told how to use a cow for predator “bait” to get money-do you have to tie it up outside the fence so the predators can get to it?

That women needs a psych evaluation, in my opinion...

Mental defective who had nothing constructive to contribute, only got in by virtue of connections to the governor. One of 2 "public" members of a seven person board - made up of established professionals, except for her - with term expiring in June of 2024. Not so sure her leaving is such a good thing - she could have been rather entertaining, plus Polis is liable to find someone who is even worse and actually capable of doing damage.
