Last weekend the temperature topped out in the 80s. The warm weather has helped to encourage the irises in our front yard that the time has come to bloom. Yet today we’re looking down the barrel of a major snowstorm for a Mother’s Day forecast. Welcome to springtime in Colorado!
This week I was quoted in a Colorado Observer story about national teachers union leadership aligning with the “ultra-Left Democracy Alliance”:
“This revelation further validates the Douglas County school board’s insistence that the district and its taxpayers get out of the business of collecting funds for a national political agenda,” DeGrow said. “The AFT has aligned itself with a highly partisan clique that’s out of step with the values of many Dougco teachers and other residents.”
