"That we should no longer be children, tossed to & fro & carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting." ~Ephesians 4:14 44-year-old Ieshia Jiron had a dozen supporters at her City Council campaign launch at City Hall. Ieshia Jiron is the CEO of American Pride Growers, LLC, 1 of the 8 total legal marijuana retail outlets in the City of Pueblo. Jiron believes that Pueblo's licensing & renewal fees is threatening the marijuana industry here. Jiron is for the 1/5 cent sales tax increase for 24 more new cops, & with raising water bill taxes for street repairs, & for more taxes for Pueblo County officials.  Chief Luis Velez of Police quits officially yesterday. Yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of James Holmes slaying 12 people, injuring 70, at the Aurora shooting at the Dark Knight movie.

68% of the people of Pueblo smartly decided to keep Pueblo's progressive & revolutionary 1954 City Charter intact 8 years ago. In 2009, 68% of the people of Pueblo rejected the "Strong Mayor/Weak Council" Amendment. Denver's "strong mayor/weak city council" system is used an example for Pueblo to emulate, but Denver County & Denver City has also been consolidated for 115 years now (since November 15, 1902). I'm in favor of uniting the City of Pueblo with Pueblo County, so if we're trying to be like Denver, then we better hurry up & Consolidate our County & City first. Nicholas Gradisar, a Pueblo lawyer & Water Board Member, is a major force behind the push for the "Mayor-Council" amendment. City Councilmen Bob Schilling (up for reelection) & Chris Nicoll (not up for reelection) both are for overthrowing Pueblo's current legal infrastructure with the "Mayor-Council" Amendment too. Mr. Gradisar reject

If we're going to radically change how Pueblo operates, personally, I would rather see the City of Pueblo & Pueblo County consolidate to reduce their many redundancies, and therefore, save a bunch of money. I also want to turn our trash into electricity, like how they're doing it in Sweden. Sweden is buying Norway's trash right now because they're running out of trash! Sweden's trash-2-electric program is too successful. The City of Pueblo should also adopt a Ranked Choice Voting system as our electoral system, so as to be inclusive of independents, but a "Strong Mayor" system? Really? That's the proposed solution for Pueblo's problems? A Strong Mayor system is a monumentally bad idea. It's a dumb idea, but more importantly, it's not even constitutional! It's outright criminal, which is why I'm shocked that it's on the ballot now, and that it was a referendum once tried before. This attempted electoral coup detat has been
