Blog Entry 52 of 55 Northglenn Revealed
The City of Northglenn has a unique character for the North Metro Area. It seems it is always out of step with the neighbors. Sometimes ahead and sometimes not. I hope my efforts and some meaningful dialog will keep the community stable, secure and an asset to the area.

Let's Taunt Gene Wieneke right now
Contributed by: Gene Wieneke   on 12/13/2007

Let's recall Gene right now. Darn, we can't even file a recall petition until after July 10th. I guess it's time to build a case on "what he is going to do" and let's start before he is sworn in.

What's our strategy? I know, create a monster in people's mind and then tear him down. Exaggerations, fabrications and even total lies are acceptable because no one will be able to track down the source. The outcome of the election was a big mistake and we need to right the ship as soon as possible. Any technique to accomplish our goal is acceptable in hard-ball politics.

There is another thing we could do between now and July utilizing the old saying about separating the kernel from the chaff. We have seen his campaign issues on his web site, wardfour.info. We can take his positions and allege that they will lead to alarming conclusions. To that we will make up some additional predictions.

When he actually votes for one of the issues he does support, we can then say, I told you so. We have proof that he will do all the things we have alleged. The residents will never take the time or be able to separate the kernel from the chaff. This hard-ball technique will also have another benefit; blackmail. If he doesn't back off from pursuing his goals for the city, we can use our fabrications in the recall election. We'll get him.

I have been reading other blogs, comments and taking phone calls for several days now trying to get to the bottom and source of the campaign that has been leveled at me. I criticized the council for their lame duck actions using three examples. All of the sudden it was turned into something entirely different for future political gain.

In this posting I tried to put a spotlight on what has been going on, and what to look forward to in the days ahead. Like anyone else would, I ask for three things. Please wait until I get in office and then judge my voting record. Second, Ward Four residents have my email and phone number so just ask. Third, separate the kernel from the chaff. Thanks

I worked there just over four years. I had three months severance and six months health insurance voluntarily given to me because there was no contract.

You were fired from Federal Heights? What for? How long did you work there? Did they give you severance? How long was it?

Sounds like school yard antics; 3rd graders passing notes. Until then I assume you have a thick skin. Just laugh it off like any born leader will do. Because you are the man with the plan. We look forward to a breath of fresh air.

I would like to hear your side of this issue: On April 4, 1995 you were let go of being the Federal Heights City Administrator after your annual performance evaluation by the City council

Yea, Gene kind of like the FALSE rumors and LIES that were spread that you were going to cut police officer pay down to 36k. Think about it for a minute. Tell this to police officers, get them upset (rightly so) and then they become a spokesperson against you. They are spokesperson that has the most contact with residents out of any group of employees in the city. Some of these groups being Community Watch, Senior Groups and the Citizen Police Academy Alumni Members. During this entire time the person who started it sits back and watches. It is a sick thing but one that has happened and I am afraid it will continue. I would ask and hope that when residents hear things that don’t sound right that they pick up the phone and call you. Welcome to Northglenn Politics. You knew it was coming!
