LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Community members show support for Hodgson, Bass
Dear Editor, We the undersigned, concerned citizens of the Brush and surrounding communities, want to declare our support for Mr. Scott Hodgson and Mr. Bradley Bass. We cannot stand for the ongoing and apparently vindictive actions of the Brush Police Department and the Brush City Administration against Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Bass and the Brush School District.
Anyone who attends or watches the video feed of the Brush City Council meetings or the Brush Board of Education meetings knows there is a strained relationship between the City of Brush and the Brush School District. The view from the outside makes it look as though the Police Department has taken this strained relationship to a new level. Something that could have been handled by a conversation, education, and training, has resulted in the potential end to a career in education for two talented educators. The actions of the Brush Police Department have already caused irrevocable damage to their personal and professional reputations. In this process, the very children that the Police Department claims to want to protect are thrown into the public spotlight, causing them to be revictimized.
The Police Department stated in their last press release “We ask the community to join us in moving forward on the pathway to forgive these atrocities and begin to focus on rebuilding trust in our teachers and schools.” Based on their actions throughout this process and in recent intergovernmental issues between the City and the School District, we believe that it is the Police Department and the City of Brush administration that needs to rebuild trust.
