The city of Greeley now has two Real-Time traffic cams so we can check traffic before we leave the house.

Of course, “Real-Time” doesn’t appear to be accurate. I viewed them, they seem to be on a ten minute 1/2 hour cycle.

Pretty good for a town that can’t afford to pay keep more than one month of City Council minutes on the website.

One has to wonder, is this where the new sales tax money is going to go? Into trinkets like this?

Last November the city of Greeley Colorado held their general elections. As a civic minded citizen who tends to vote in every public election I was saddened when I realized I had to pick some candidates on a completely random basis. I realized there were people running for elected offices that I had never even heard of before. As a response to that I’ve decided to start this blog. So many of us are concerned about politics at a national level, but barely concern ourselves with the elected officials that make decisions effecting our everyday lives.

The purpose of this site is to educate and document the actions of our city council, school board and Weld County Commisioners. In accordance with that intention I welcome any comments or submissions directly related with governmental actions. We will discuss things like city planning, traffic patterns, public transportation, CSAP tests in our schools, pet restrictions, noise ordinances and any other relevant topics. We will not discuss religion, federal politics and any other completely unrelated issues. If you would like to discuss other random topics with local residents I highly recommend starting your own blog at the Greality website. Anyone who has any comments or articles for the site, please send them to me. As long as they are well thought out and non-inflammatory I will post them. This includes informative information from our elected officials or candidates themselves. I’m looking forward to many lively discussions.
