Edgewater, Thanks for Voting for a Safer Community!

Edgewater Votes for Inclusion with the Wheat Ridge Fire Protection District

And it passes by a fairly wide margin, I might add. Yesterday, Edgewater citizens spoke up loud and clear in favor of the 2A (66.13% in favor; 33.87% opposed) Charter amendment for inclusion as well as the 5A mill levy increase  (64.7% for inclusion; 35.83% against). More information on the election results can be found on the Jefferson County Elections Website: http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/CO/Jefferson/43033/110766/en/slideshow.html.

Hooray! This makes sense. I'm so pleased that we're no longer kicking this can down the road any longer. Thank goodness we're making our community safer and we're thinking of fiscally sound approaches to meeting our City's needs.

Now on to more sexy infrastructure needs...Like sewer lines and paving, perhaps?

Civic-minded pumpkins at the Keeble household this year! We'll be passing out mini-Constitutions tonight. Um, just kidding.

I do love this time of year and especially enjoy my Edgewater neighbors who have decked out their yards with decorations -- Lots of graveyards in people's front yards. We added a few lights and a cat with red glowing eyes in the hopes of attracting more trick-or-treaters. Parents skip the busy streets so we don't get to many kiddos.

At our office Halloween potluck party today we had some great costumes, including a woman in a binder. I dressed as a ghost writer. Nobody could figure out what I was -- I probably looked like the ghost of English teachers past.

Happy Halloween to everyone! Be safe. Have fun. Dress up.
