Dear Editor,
Thank you for reporting on the Chaffee County Patriots town hall meeting with accuracy. There seems to be an alternate reality in Buena Vista, Colorado with regard to news outlets who claim to report the truth. The link for this lie is:
No member of the Chaffee County Patriots tried to “grab anybody’s notes” for any reason whatsoever. It is unfortunate that folks have to craft lies when the entire meeting was video recorded. The reason we had this done-we suspected that something like what is printed in the caption of the picture by Miss Winchell would happen.
Thank you to you and your staff for actually printing what happened.
Regards,
Brian E. O’Connell, President
Chaffee County Patriots, Ltd.
