question:
Comment: The chief of staff would not lie to this reporter would she.  VA has never been caught lieing have they...

Chief of staff and don't know the employee staffing report...

Employee's leaving why.?  Think maybe people have read some where that the VA is not a good place to work.

Maybe they heard that if they don't do the VA's bidding they will be retaliated against.

So Denver VA is now in second place and grand junction is number 1,  bet Denver is jealous and will do what ever they need to do to become number 1 again.

How long before the rat's will distroy the new billion dollar facility.

Why don't you do a story on how the Denver VA punishes veterans for disruptive behavior and do not have to provide any written proof of the supposed disruptive behavior.

How they let VA employees punish veterans claiming they were disruptive.

Then ask them to show you the written proof, they did it to me and admitted they had no written proof of me ever being disruptive!

I have the proof !!!!
answer:
Non-threat

question:
Comment: Vancouver was thinking it was a good idea to pass a law mandating snow tires-  but only if there was snow on the ground? 

How on earth was that law going to be enforced? Who was going to enforce it? How were people going to comply? Check the weather then break out the jack?

Two questions arise in my mind- 

1- Did the author completely miss the actual wording of the proposed law? Because surely a law like that could not have actually been proposed, right? 

2- If the author's research was accurate, it beggars the question: How do people that stupid actually get elected?
answer:

Non-threat
