Castle Rock Firefighters Need Your Help

Updated On: Apr 24, 2008 (14:53:00)

Senate bill 223 would allow public safety officials (trained personnel) to raise money for charity in the right-of-way. Local ordinances - including here in Castle Rock - have been passed to stop aggressive panhandling and were not intended to effect firefighters, but nevertheless have also affected our annual Fill-The-Boot fundraiser for MDA.

Last year was the first year that the ordinance was in place and we were able to raise less than 50% of our normal amounts. This money is used in our community, so the less that is raised, the less support families can receive. We know that many of you that spoke in favor of this ordinance in Castle Rock also spoke in favor of allowing us to continue to raise money, but the town was unable to make a distinction. This bill would allow for that distinction without allowing the unwanted panhandling.

Please take a few minutes and send an e-mail to Senator Tom Wiens. Just click on the link for his address and an e-mail will open up. Feel free to personalize it as you see fit. If you are using a web-based e-mail program, open the Word document and copy the text.  tom@tomwiens.com

Thank you for your support.

Ritter Won't Support FF Barganing

Posted On: Feb 12, 2008 (17:09:32)

In a very surprising and upsetting move Governor Ritter has decided not to support fire fighters right to collectively bargain.  This is a very surprising move, especially since that was the promise he made that moved Colorado's professional fire fighters to endorse him.  CPFF President Randy Atkinson is trying to change the Governor's mind but so far it does not look promising.
