Speer Amendment Enforcement

...In a fair marketplace, merit and ability serve as the key foundational factors for employment and appointment. However, current diversity and inclusion structures are often viewed as incompatible with this primary merit-based model, creating "beta models" that do not align with the rights of all citizens. While private businesses retain the right to hire based on diversity and inclusion metrics if they choose, this preference should not compromise the broader public standard of governance. Alternatively, individuals who may initially lack specific merits or abilities can be comprehensively trained for new entry-level roles starting at a standard pay of $30 per hour, performing shifting operational duties as the city transitions from the current Mike Johnston Administration toward a Durango Dank Administration. It is far more efficient to manage and guide a few individuals within the existing framework than to attempt a complete replacement of the entire current administration. This model remains sustainable as long as public servants completely drop their partisan party affiliations and pledge 100% allegiance to a strictly Non-Political Government Administration, known as the city charter law called The Speer Amendment. Which has not been enforced since 1963. See:Case #23cv54: Giavanni vs Lopez, listen to the recorded, or written transcript of this Emergency Hearing. ...To achieve this structural accountability, it is imperative to enforce the historical Speer Amendment. Originally ratified on May 17, 1916, under Mayor Robert W.

Despite this constitutional mandate, a partisan monopoly has allegedly controlled the local government since 1963. The long-standing pattern of willful non-enforcement was openly documented during a February 6, 2023, hearing in Denver District Court (Case #23cv54) before Judge Andrew Luxen, where Assistant City Attorney Michele Horn explicitly admitted on the record, "We haven't enforced that law in years". To reverse this decades-long disregard for the charter, a comprehensive audit must be conducted to replace and restore the legal sections that have been systematically altered or removed by the official City Charter Publishers located in Florida, thereby reclaiming the true rule of law for the citizens. ...More coming soon, ...
