Community project is positive affirmation

For two days, we watched youth from our community construct a wooden fence around an open space restoration area at Hecla Lake in Louisville. They did a fantastic job and it looks great!

The first morning we observed a team building exercise, instruction and then they were let loose to build it with just the right amount of oversight and supervision. These kids worked hard, had fun and showed such pride in their work. Witnessing this was another affirmation that this is such a great community in which to live, work and play.

So, thank you to those who participated in this project: the young people in the Boulder County Youth Corps and the Boulder County and Louisville Open Space staff. Good job!

— Julie Merrick, Louisville the book “Democracy in Chains” that claims, “Very wealthy and powerful people in the U.S. are working to dominate the Country.” No argument there, but then she states, “They have gained control of the Republican party and now the U.S.” Republicans? Seriously?

Although I can write much more, I can debunk that claim within the space provided by focusing on the more than $400 million the Zuckerbergs funneled into government election offices during the 2020 election. In Wisconsin, which Biden only won by 20,600 votes, special counsel Michael Gableman’s investigation determined that $9 million given to Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha and Green Bay counties were used to co-opt government election offices into assisting Democrat get-out-the-vote efforts and amounted to bribery.

In my opinion, Jin’s corrected statement should read, “Very wealthy and powerful people in the U.S. are working to dominate the Country. They have gained control of the (anti) Democratic party and much of the U.S.”
