CO wants the city to cough up about a half million bucks in legal fees in their fight to bring in their out of town friends for rallies at City Hall. I know that what I am about to say might raise some eyebrows but, I don't think the organization is acting in good faith. Generously, their lawsuit couldn't have taken more than 10 hours of work. Are they really charging $50,000/hr? My best paying job would have taken 12 years to snag $500,000. In that time, I could go back to school, get a law degree (and probably 1 or 2 more) and still have time for a movie & a lawsuit.
So where will the city find the money? $500,000 would be about 10 police or maybe 10 firefighters. Could more fire station brown outs be on the way? Will you lose your home to fire? Will your loved one die due to slow emergency service? Will you meet a crazed and homicidal crack addict in your living room due to reduced police staffing? All so CO can get a nicer backdrop and easier media attention for their trifling rallies?
Meanwhile, the police and fire unions endorse the organization's staunchest supporters in city government…
Go figure. Enjoy your bloody lawsuit , CO
