Please continue to hold their feet to the fire. Just a quick note of thanks to all the legal minds involved in unraveling this tangle that our Mayor has unleased.

A detailed audit of PP / Gemini articles of incorporation, financial relationship, etc. with regard to state, county, and city law may turn up quite a few irregularities. As I recall, nationwide, PP had profits of over 60 million last year. Pretty good for a "not-for-profit".

They probably convinced themselves they are following the letter of the law but with all the deception they practice it would be interesting to shed some light on their accounting practices.

This would seem to contradict the whole purpose of a not-for profit; or perhaps even nullify it. And if that’s the case – bye bye tax incentives and perhaps some grant money.

Noting that Planned Parenthood is actually a Not-for-Profit organization, does this mean that they will not only avoid paying taxes, but will also live on our generosity as taxpayers in Aurora when it comes to receiving all the extra police protection and infrastructure services?

Makes you wonder what else the mayors been up to. Me thinks he has some "splaining" to do. Maybe we should start a coup, join forces with the police department and storm City hall Tuesday night. This could be the best City Hall meeting ever. Wow, Did the mayor think that this was going to fly? Makes you wonder what else the mayors been up to. Me thinks he has some "splaining" to do.

Why? All of the mayor's actions raise more and more questions. This issue is not going to go away any time soon.
