Leave TCHD as soon as possible. We need more local control over the health department and the health department has no role in controlling the people of Adams county. The people that serve on health boards need to be held accountable by the people they serve. Serve, being the operative word as they should never have the power to rule over us.
I support the separation of Adams County from Tri County Health Department. It has become abundantly clear that the people on the board no longer care about the people they oversee and blindly follow those above them. Douglas County saw what was really going on and made the best decision for their constituents, as you should. We in Adams know what is best for us and our people, not the board of health. We live here and are the ones who are privy to our wants and needs. Furthermore, I think the people should be involved when it comes to those who are appointed. We need more diversity to help uphold our democracy. Thank you.
But I only support this if the Commissioners actually listen to their constituents and get a well-rounded politically diverse board to manage ADCO Health going forward and give the constituents a say in who ends up on the board. It's truly clear that TCHD is NOT following the science with regards to masking our children and honestly, it's hurting them psychologically.
Please push to leave TCHD as soon as possible. In the mean time unmask our children! You do not get the choice to decide what is best for my children! Dr. Douglas has said that he should have listened to those of us who came to him in droves, he didn’t and it cost him more than his job and the jobs of so many others! I hope you listen to us and don’t fall in to the same missteps that Dr. Douglas did. You must also let the people of Adams County have a say in who is elected to the new Adams County Health Department! We can not have the same poor mismanaged representation we have had from Mullica, Reyes and Schiliz! Take a stand against the tyrants you put in to these positions!!
It is in the best interest of Adams County to pull out of TCHD. TCHD is not using correct/sound information to base their ridiculous mandates on. Our children and their families deserve to make decisions themselves. I also strongly feel that the public has the right to choose those who are appointed to the new board of health so that the people are represented...not those who get big pay offs for the corrupt agenda.
I am in complete support of leaving TCHD. This needs to happen sooner than later. However, it is absolutely necessary to involve voter input as to who is placed in this role going forward.
As a member of Adams County, I demand that the public has input as to who is appointed to the new board of health. I look forward to hearing your plans to include the public in the decision making process.
Tri-County HD is a 73yo accredited, nationally renowned, award-winning health department. Everyone gets more for less when resources are pooled, as they have been. The 400 employees worked tirelessly since March 2020 to keep their jurisdictions safe during a worldwide pandemic. Health Departments are not supposed to be political. Moves to dismantle by these counties are entirely political. A bragging right for the County Commissioners, who I wouldn't be surprised to see use this move to advance their political careers. To reinvent the wheel is a gross mismanagement of funds. County Commissioners serve a 2-4 year term, but have the power to leave much destruction in their wake. All this over some Douglas County constituents not wanting to wear masks anymore. The worldwide pandemic is not over. Does anyone appreciate the fact that Tri-County has served to protect over 1.2 million people, giving their best, and now their reward will be assisting to dismantle their careers at TCHD?
Please leave TCHD. I fully support leaving TCHD. TCHD/Dr. Douglas has said in the Denver post that this pandemic has been too hard to manage and feels that the situation is too stressful for him and his team. In addition, Eva has stated in Westword in April that she has been wanting out of TCHD for years. They have miss managed the pandemic by - more or less - guessing how to get us out of this mess. Now they have but the burdened of the pandemic on our children by making them wear mask in school. Bring the control back to Adams county where you can be more flexible and act according to your people. I support leaving TCHD 100%
This is a terrible idea that would result in an egregious misuse of funds. Bowing to political pressure and backing out of a functioning system just to spend more money attempting to recreate the same system to potentially provide a more politically favorable outcome by ignoring professional opinions is insane. By the time the new system is functional the original reason used to justify it may no longer be relevant, and any politicians still in office who voted for it will then be held responsible for the cost of creating a functionally obsolete pariah.

The life TCHD is creating for our children is going to leave permanent damage if they are not stopped. Masks might well be the least of it.
opt out of TCHD!!

Withdrawal from TCHD and immediately afterwards, unmask our children.
