Lakewood Rezoning Crisis and Government Corruption Start listening at 17:02 – Hour 1 Ramey Johnson, former Colorado legislator and Colorado Union of Taxpayers board member, exposes systematic corruption in Lakewood’s rezoning process. The city council rushed through four rounds of rezoning votes starting in June, with minimal citizen input, designed to eliminate single-family neighborhoods throughout the city. Johnson reveals that a Colorado Open Records Act request uncovered 250 pages of communications between Lakewood Mayor Wendy Strom, the Wheat Ridge mayor, public information officers, and developers. When citizens accessed a Zoom meeting about development plans, officials immediately moved to a private session. The city council, city manager, assistant city manager, city clerk, and city attorney were all served subpoenas regarding the controversial Emory Elementary sale. “So basically, our mayors have been working with developers behind the scenes trying to get development planned for Lakewood.

There are 70 now, 70 plus doses recommended for U.S. children all the way up, you know, and then there’s an adult schedule as well, by the way.” Pam Long, Military Director, Children’s Health Defense Consent of the Governed and American Liberty Start listening at 51:37 – Hour 1 Cathy Russell, scientist and president of Liberty Toastmasters North, joins Kim in studio to examine the American principle that government derives its power from the consent of the governed. Russell traces this concept back to Cyrus the Great, who liberated Babylon through consent and built a successful empire lasting 200 years by listening to the governed.
