Benker, McCoy having a nice meal of Humble Pie

Now this is funny. Today, in this story, the Denver Post covered the pending deal between Firestone and Longmont regarding the annexation issues.

The deal? A) The Benker/McCoy Axis of Evil gets to save (egg-covered) face, while Longmont gets its so-called "buffer zone"; and B) the Union property gets annexed into Firestone.

BUT HERE'S THE FUNNY PART: Benker and McCoy have to cut a deal that involves paying money to buy the Firelight property from people they hate (those DAMN churchgoing Republicans!) for open space, and LifeBridge/Union gets to build and to be annexed into Firestone.

LEFT, LONGMONT'S NEW COMMUNITY OUTREACH DIRECTOR

I think this works out best for all really. I mean, do the folks at LifeBridge and Union really want to be associated with Longmont's meth problem and guys like this gang-banging wife-beater? Methinks not.

Moreover, Union won't have the albatross of Longmont's tanking city image and drained coffers under Benkernomics, Chad Auer pulls a coup on his way into office, picks up millions in the tax revenues lost by Longmont for rejecting Union, and Auer picks up one heck of a voting demographic.

Interesting how the anti-LifeBridge hate cult was jumping for joy when Chad Auer was elected mayor of Firestone a few weeks ago, replacing the villainous Mike Simone. Now Auer is suddenly the new villain for putting forth a perfectly reasonable compromise annexation plan.
