(The contents were posted to Nextdoor, but taken down, labeled as Misinfo.). For grins: Google misinfo “Rocky Flats” More than 6800 people read my post about the Westminster vote on the Greenway.

Story by Monte Whaley, September 24, from Westminster Window “A majority of councilors said they no longer wanted the city to be part of the project over concerns that any foot traffic along the trail into Westminster will stir up deadly plutonium linked to the shuttered Rocky Flats facility.” This vote has been expected since…
[Follow-up to the blog entry Doomed new lawsuit will waste tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars of January 25, 2024] (Thanks to Kim Griffiths for passing on the document distributed by David Abelson to the Rocky Flats Stewardship Council!

A cleaned-up PDF is on our website here.] Michael Ketterer and Jon Lipksy collected air samples at the former plant east gate on Indiana St, at the Refuge southeast Refuge gate, and at Colorado 128 at the Rock Creek underpass on a very windy day (April…
(Damn–thought I’d published this on March 12th!) On Monday, March 11 the Westminster City Council appears to have capitulated to the usual earnest misinformation onslaught from the usual suspects: Peace&Justice, Jon Lipsky, Randy Stafford, Chris Allred, a Physicians for Social Responsibility spokesperson and an orchestrated phone-message campaign.

Case 1:24-CV-00061, Physicians for Social Responsibility et al v. Buttigieg et al was filed on January 8.
