Denver Zoo to open 570-acre conservation preserve in Weld County

Conversations between the family and the zoo began about 18 months ago, said Bob Lembke, president of United Water and Sanitation District and a Weld County ranch owner. “I’ve always been a big fan of the zoo and came to the conclusion that this made sense,” Lembke told BizWest. “I signed the documents for the donation last December.” The gift was made, he said, because “Denver Zoo has been part of our family tradition since the late 1950s.

Interview: Lori Saine, Weld County Commissioner on Standing up for Liberty

SOURCE: FREE STATE COLORADO Lori Saine isn't afraid to stand up for liberty, even if it means she has to stand alone. As a State Legislator, she served for eight years in the House, and now she serves as a Weld County Commissioner.

Unfortunately, Lori's fellow Weld County Commissioners haven't always supported her principled approach to governance.
