We can only surmise was Rep. Polis intended. But I suspect that he's fed up with religious fundamentalism, whether Catholic or evangelical "non-denomination" Dominionism and and its seepage into government like toxic fracking fluids.

Thumbs up to BoCo! One way or another the land will not be developed and will remain rural agricultural.

Good news. This end of town needed this option for King Soopers shoppers.

There was no long line of suitors for this property.

A course or two in law and philosophy eons ago facilitate Billy's gibberish. It's doubtful that even HE knows what he's talking about. It's sad that a human mind has been reduced to the need to reiterate these thoughts over and over again in order to reaffirm itself.
