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.
