Taxes in any form are unpopular but when coupled with a new bureaucracy ushered in by disgraced county officials under the auspices of a ‘fee’ they are sure to raise residents’ hackles.  Such is the case with the new Adams County “Stormwater Utility” that is raising taxes on county residents and, adding insult to injury, [...]

Voters inexplicably elected Charles “Chaz” Tedesco to the Adams County Commissioners office despite his history of lying and financial problems.  While Tedesco claimed those woes were in his past, it turns out the past was only a few weeks ago when he was recently slapped with a hefty fine for campaign finance violations.

Every election year I write a story about campaign contributions to the [...]

Adams County will soon be rid of two ethically challenged commissioners and while there are some fine candidates vying to replace them, at least one seems to have a problem with telling the truth.  Charles ‘Chaz’ Tedesco was confronted about past DUI arrests and lied repeatedly on camera about them. As reported by CBS4 investigative [...]

November 2012 gives Adams County voters the unprecedented opportunity to take back their county government from decades of failed leadership.  Voters are finally going to have some real choices to help restore the county’s reputation after being rocked by scandals. There is little point in rehashing the absolute disaster that Adams County elected officials and [...]

Following on their inability to conduct a timely and accurate assembly with only 350 voters, the Adams County Democrats have released the results.  Embattled Adams County Commissioner Alice Nichol failed to achieve enough support to move forward to the primary and in her place the Democrats are nominating union activist Charles “Chaz” Tedesco.
