« Men Rule Arvada City Council: The Cronyism Continues | Main | Arvada Council's Secret Ballots are Challenged »

January 18, 2014

Part of Cronyism IS Lack of Diversity

This is what Arvada really looks like ...

Fifty-two percent of Arvadans are female.
The median age is 40 years old.
Nearly twenty percent are ethnic minorities.

In filling the Arvada city council district one vacancy, the "good ol'boys" used secret balloting to eliminate qualified applicants and conducted a 'forum' that clearly showed that the intent was to select someone who would agree with the incumbents -- not who might best represent the residents of the district.

This is a city council not worthy of all the people of Arvada.

This is not what Arvada looks like ...
