Mayor, Council members, City Staff, VALE Board membersand the residents of Northglenn:

First off I want to thank you for taking the time to interview me on March 13th for the position on the Victim Assistance And Law Enforcement (VALE) Board.

I was excited to get a phone call to see if I was still interested for the Victim Assistance board and of course I was, until I was told by some Northglenn resident's that Councilman James Miller, who is on the Victim Assistance And Law Enforcement Board and a former Northglenn Police Officer was arrested for harassment, second-degree criminal tampering and domestic violence, egging a car and sending threatening text messages to his ex-girlfriend while being a council member for the city of Northglenn. This was hard to believe!

I decided to do some checking and found out, this was all true!

Within week's of taking office in January 2006 as city council member ward I, he was arrested. June 5th 2006, James Miller chose to plead guilty in order to protect his daughter and not for his own action's. Since he pleaded guilty, he got a two year deferred sentence and required to pay the victim $518.00 in restitution, and the Judge kept the protection order for the victim in place against James Miller.

After James Miller pleaded guilty, Mayor Novak and four other council member's and concerned residents called for James Miller resignation and he refused.

As I was a Victim of a domestic violence, this is a hard slap in the face for all the victim's and I, that have been or are in some kind of domestic violence relationship. Paying a victim does not make things better for her; there is not enough money in the world to take away the pain, being scared and erasing the bad memories from her mind.

At this time, I cannot, and will not be on the Victim Assistance board with James Miller who has been charged for domestic violence.

I would like for you to keep my application on hand, and if Council member James Miller is taken off the board I would like another chance at the Victim Assistance And Law Enforcement Board.

For the record, the Northglenn resident's that told me were not any current council member's or past council members.

Thank you
