Falsehood - The incumbent says, “Transparency has always been a hallmark of Arapahoe County government and this is no exception.”
The incumbent would have us all believe that his conduct in his office has been totally transparent and above-board. He wants us to believe that all relevant information is easily available.
Truth – The incumbent has not filed his annual reports for 2009 or 2010.
Look on-line at http://www.co.arapahoe.co.us/Departments/CO/Index.asp
Look at the bottom of the page. You will see annual reports for 2006, 2007, and 2008. There is nothing for 2009, or 2010.
Why? What information would be there that he might not want to disclose?
Truth – The incumbent still has failed to give substantive answers to eight “Freedom Of Information Act” (FOIA) letters from Jay Ledbetter.
Jay Ledbetter sent five FOIA letters to the incumbent back in August of this year. According to the statute, the incumbent had 48 hours within which to answer those letters.
The incumbent has not yet provided substantive answers to any of these letters, but in the opinion of Jay Ledbetter, the incumbent simply got the County Attorney to stand in the way of providing the answers.
See the letters by clicking [here].
Read the letters for yourself. See that they only ask information that the public would have a right to know about the activities of the incumbent.
QUESTION:
Why would the incumbent resist giving the answers to these questions, if all was above-board and perfectly fine and good?
Don’t you want to know these answers before you vote for Coroner?
