Sheriff eludes county censorship campaign

State & Local News

A Colorado sheriff who poked fun at a municipal proposal to ban red and green lights at Christmas for being too religious and was investigated for expressing his thoughts on the issue now is funding and launching his own department website in order to escape governmental censorship.

"The 'Bull's-eye' and 'Bull Sheet' are once again under attack," wrote Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden in what he described as probably his last professional opinion piece on his portion of the Larimer County website.

He said his new website will be funded by himself, run by a volunteer, and appear at www.LarimerSheriff.org.
