Grounds for recall for councilmember cohen

Todd Cohen has ignored constituents, acted counter to their interests, supported measures that negatively affect citizens' health and safety, ignored factual information when addressing issues, and approved measures that benefit him. In 2021, Cohen pushed the creation of tax-payer funded homeless encampments similar to those that he supported in his prior private-sector capacity. One of the sites identified by staff, at Council's request, was on 144th Avenue in open space ~2,000 feet from a high school and at a 6-month startup cost of ~$500,000, despite homeless camps being known for heavy drug use. In 2022, Cohen failed to inform constituents and support their pleas to reasonably locate numerous industrialized water tanks in a manner that prevents neighborhood devaluation and protects Broomfield's open space and wildlife. Throughout 2022 and into 2023, Cohen failed to address mental health issues wherein ~90% of prioryears' gun deaths in Broomfield were suicides, instead approving unconstitutional ordinances expected to cost the City at least $250,000 to defend, which are ineffective, and which will most likely be unenforceable. In 2023, Cohen approved ~$98,000 in self-serving health-care plans for councilmembers. Increased spending on numerous programs has now necessitated an increase in taxes.

Henkel publicly stated that she "will not recognize" constituents who disagree with her. In 2023, Henkel approved ~$98,000 in health-care plans for councilmembers.

unconstitutional laws

Nobody expects council members to be lawyers or judges and determine the constitutionality of every piece of legislation that comes before them, that is why we have lawyers and judges. However, it is reasonable to ask that council members follow the news and critically think about legislation before them. It is clear, based on recent Supreme Court rulings, that the gun ordinances Heidi and Todd passed in January are unconstitutional. Whether you agree with the court or not, they are the supreme arbiter of law in the United States and their interpretation of the Second Amendment must be followed. Since both Heidi and Todd swore an oath when taking office to uphold the Constitution of the United States, a violation of that oath is a clear reason to recall them from office.
