Lennie, it sounds like you might need to move to the country. There might be a reason why you are the only person wanting these huge garages. Not everyone can afford to move to the country and they should not be denied “views” because of this. One of the comments I do not like in your article is your stance that if the commissioners don't listen to you, that “there's ways to put them out of power, too”. Why don't you run for one of these seats next time it is open and see how it really works? Good luck.
Redneckgirl, I didn't mean to imply that your kids were out of control because of what you mentioned. I meant to imply that there are a number of kids that are out of control within the school because they have parents telling them that it does not matter what the teacher says or does….the student does not have to do it. This is likely not the case with you, but I do know it is the case with many of the students. As I tell many parents that have issues with the schools….quit complaining and get involved. Run for the school board. Be sure to be at all the PAC (Parent Accountability Committee) meetings each month at the school. From attending some of these meetings, they are very poorly attended, yet there are lots of parents out there complaining. Come to the meeting and voice your concerns and become part of the solution. I would agree that there is too much homework, but by going to the PAC….you can address this issue with Toovey and see if it can be remedied one way or another. If you are involved and these issues are not being looked at, then you do have a reason to be complaining.
As schools, they must provide well-rounded students that are exposed to a wide variety of curriculum and information. No redneckgirl, it's not your choice for her not to weave if it is an assignment and something that she is learning in school. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for teachers to try and educate our kids only to have the parents in the background pulling these strings….(you don't have to weave…because I told you so honey….). No wonder kids are so out of control in schools these days. Parents need to be supporting the teachers and the schools. If you don't agree with something, make an appointment and see the teacher and discuss it. I know that the anti-school folks will jump all over this, which is okay.
Lonelyone, I'm just guessing…..but, I would bet that social services has very specific guidelines for this and those guidelines were severely broken. Karma!
She has a history of doing this with many other clients in the past. If the allegations are true, she defrauded the social services system. At no time, is that okay. It amazes me that there are people here that are saying this is okay….depending on the situation. It is not okay to break the law….for any reason. I would agree with Yaho……there needs to be a complete investigation into this and all involved in this fraud needs to be held accountable. I believe this is called “karma”!
Hopefully they do away with “Poaching for Wildlife” also. This is one of the most crooked programs I have seen. Benefits only the big rancher and the wealthy hunter.
Why don't you run for the next open seat on the school board Amankra and change the things you feel are so horrible. Are Moffat County Schools the best? No, but there is much, much worse school district's out there. Instead of complaining and hiding behind your anonymous name, why not get involved and try and make a difference?
Amankra, if you feel the schools are so horrible, why don't you just move. I'm sure you will find a better district anywhere you go. From the majority of your postings you don't like Moffat County Schools or the people in them. Why not go elsewhere….maybe there you will be happier.

Freeman….I'm pretty sure GreyStone was being sarcastic on that comment.

Karma has nothing to do with her husband, but all to do with her and things she has done to past clients.
