The Greeley Tribune posted a poll asking visitors how they would rate the outgoing Mayor and City Council. Ed Clark and company didn’t rate so well with almost 40% of respondents giving them an ‘F’.

Feel free to share your thoughts on the Mayor and Council’s performance.

In an interview on KFKA, Greeley Mayor Ed Clark blasted the Greeley Tribune.

“I love this town, and I only want the best for Greeley, and, uh, I only want the worst for the Tribune. I hope they fold,” Clark said

Mayor Ed Clark, has caused more controversy by showing a fake $3 bill with Barack Obama’s picture on it to kids in the school where he works.

Greeley Mayor, Ed Clark, is facing a restraining order after a citizen’s arrest gone wrong.

The boy, 15, told police that Clark stopped him as he was riding his motorbike in the Eagle Ridge subdivision park at about 9:30 p.m. near 71st Avenue and 22nd Street and told him to get off the bike, according to the boy’s father, Tim Stitt.

When the boy refused, Stitt said Clark, an ex-police officer, picked up his son and threw him to the ground, holding the boy on the ground with his hands behind his back before police arrived.

When police arrived, they ticketed the boy for driving without a license, according to police.

Stitt took his son to Weld County Court on Tuesday morning to get a restraining order. Stitt said Clark and his wife, Erin, have been harassing his son for weeks. Stitt said Ed Clark confronted his son on a neighborhood basketball court two weeks ago after his son levied an expletive at Erin Clark. Stitt said Ed Clark told the boy that “bad things are going to happen” if he didn’t stop disrespecting his wife.

Joe Barnes, a nearby neighbor, said his son saw Clark “attack” the boy Monday, throw him to the ground and hold him down. He said kids in the neighborhood were just acting like kids and that none of them has ever gotten into any serious trouble.

Feel free to leave comments and give your thoughts about the Mayor’s behavior.

Greeley City Council has decided to sacrifice Economic Development and Charity funding in favor of five more police officer.

Perhaps not the best move as the country moves into a recession.

Mayor Ed Clark will be at The Buzz Coffee and Gelato tomorrow morning for an open forum.

Be sure to go out and ask him some questions.

Greeley City Council has decided to stop televising it’s work sessions

In another move to save money, the council will not televise its work sessions any longer on Greeley’s Channel 8.

Doesn’t really matter to me since I have satellite TV, not cable.

A scheduled rap concert for February 9, 2008 has been canceled after Mayor Ed Clark and Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck voiced their disapproval.

Both Buck and Clark were concerned that this concert would increase gang activity in Greeley.

“This is a matter of public safety,” Clark said. “(Mr. Capone-E) is a South Side gang member out of L.A. He has a criminal record…he was going to bring South Side gang members with him.”
