Indeed they have. I would greatly appreciate an explanation at your earliest convenience. Thank-you. Amy Conklin Dear Editor, The purpose of this communication is to request a correction to the Citizen Minutes from 1 August 2006 that appear online. Ms. Brzeczek stated that "Amy Conklin said she did not like giving the judges direction and if she had her way they would not be adopting the law at all." Based on my recollection and after reviewing the online video of the meeting on the city's website (www.littletongov.org), what I actually said was that I did not mind giving the judges direction. I restated the same sentiment twice. The issue is that I want our municipal courts to reflect our local, community perspectives rather than being controlled by another governmental entity. We are a home rule city. I want to keep the rulings at home whenever possible. This error illustrates one flaw in this type of reporting. It appears as official minutes but in fact no one has reviewed them for accuracy and completeness, much less voted on them. Ms. Brzeczek attempts to explain the fact by stating "I am not a reporter ...". You may want to consider changing the title to something that reflects the fact these reports are simply Ms. Brzeczek's opinions rather than 'minutes'. Official minutes can be found on the city's website. Additionally we are broadcast live on Channel 8, streamed on the internet, and VHS and DVD copies of the broadcast are available from Bemis library. Sincerely, Amy Conklin Dear Editor,
