Thanks to those that attended this event for coverage.
Brett Reese took to the podium at Farr Library on Saturday, to make a public statement and answer questions swirling around the community regarding his reputation, agenda and behavior at Weld District 6 School Board meetings. The crowd was mixed, with supporters mingling with skeptics. Reese accepted questions from all attendees.
The wives of school board members Stack and Broderius attended the forum, outfitted with video cameras, as well as a photographer/reporter from the Lib Trib. If they listened, they got an ear-full of complaint about District 6. One woman, a teacher in the district, corroborated Reeses' statements to the letter with a scathing rebuke of the current majority on the board. Another attendee later disclosed a list of teachers and District 6 employees that supported Reese, but were afraid to reveal their names for fear of reprisal. All in all, the event was positive, informal and illustrated the chasm between the good-old-boys network and those that really want to move Greeley forward.
Reese urged the crowd to attend school board meetings and judge the behaviors and accusations for themselves. While few minds were probably changed, the meeting was held in an open and transparent environment. Check with members Stack and Broderius if you wish to review the video tape. They made sure they had copies for themelves.
Editor's Note: Sam Hill is not Brett Reese, despite occasional allegations to the contrary. Therefore, any comments continuing to purvey this drivel will be deleted, and commenting idiots may be blocked at Greeley Reports discretion.

Brett is running point. He has had the courage and fortitude to stand against the status-quo. The cost? Take a look at what is happening now. I, for one, appreciate his efforts. Brett is in there plugging away against enormous headwinds. Could you do the same?
Of course you may agree with SD6 and want to maintain the present course. That is your freedom. I completely disagree with what is happening in SD6, and schools across the country for that matter. I have had children in private Christian schools, and in public schools. I can tell you that the government has no business in our school system. Where, in the Constitution, does it say that the federal government is to educate our children?
And take a look at what is happening down in Texas! Complete 1st Amendment violation.

Brett has accomplished exactly what he wanted--draw attention to himself.

Bobby J,
Have you not been Following the school board. Votes are 6 to 1 on a regular basis. Linda Trimberger insist on having the agenda filled with fluffed up nonsense. Bretts agenda items never make it on the Agenda. Until more conservative like minded individuals stand up nothing will change with this school board. Are you willing to take a stand and get the changes started????

Who in the Sam Hill do you think you are blocking comments? LOL Just Kidding. I think it is about time to remove those comments from the accusers who actually think they know. I am behind Brett Reese 100% on this, and think that she should be made public, the teacher/accuser of the bogus trumped up charges. I would also bring her into a court system and sue for defamation of character. A female dog is a "bitch" and that seems to fit in this case totally. Keep up the good fight Mr. Reese!
side note: Dennis I am sorry for the loss of your father, and my thoughts and prayers are with you as they are with Jesus our Lord and Savior.

What has Brett accomplished? Has he lowered tax rates? Has he paved the way for vouchers? Has he provided education choice and competition? Has he increased administration efficiency?
WTF has Brett Reese accomplished?

On March 28th I buried my Dad; otherwise I would have been at Farr Library to support Brett.
Thank you Brett for pioneering, in your own style, dissent among the complacent. We all know that you are a little rambunctious, but thanks for bringing attention to an area of great need in our community.
As for the tribune, they are only helping to bring more attention; however, I've noticed that they have completely stopped reporting on Brett Reese, since Brett has indicated that he will take legal action against them for their blatant character assassination.
Keep up the good work Brett.

Blocking comments? That is a step worthy of the 'lib trib.'
