Inform Firestone

Most Firestone residents received last week a nice glossy mailer detailing how “outsiders” were trying to overturn our Trustees’ vote on the Union annexation.

We at InformFirestone were not surprised by the ‘outsiders’ claim, as we had already seen that in the editorial co-written by former Firestone Mayor Mike SImone and current Firestone Mayor Chad Auer (as a private citizen of course), to which InformFirestone responded with a guest editorial found here.

What we did find curious was the cost incurred by CFFF in preparing and sending out this mailer.  As a group that was accused of being backed by “well-funded special interest groups based outside Firestone”, we were surprised that CFFF would be able to raise so much money so quickly inside Firestone.  This mailer alone truly did dwarf InformFirestone’s entire budget.

Later last week, a post on tri-town.com provided a explanation to this question.  CFFF is indeed being funded by groups outside of Firestone.  For confirmation, people need to look no further than the CFFF website, which now has no mention of ‘outsiders’.

Fortunately, we still have the mailers, which bear proof of CFFF’s hypocrisy and the trick it was trying to pull on the voters of Firestone.
