Breaking:

Breaking! Mesa County Department of Human Services announced to staff Monday that sweeping layoffs are forthcoming that will primarily be in the Child Protective Services and Adult Protective Services programs.

According to employees at the Monday meeting 15 to 25 positions will be eliminated.

"This directly affects vulnerable children and adults by increasing workloads which translates to higher worker burnout, lower worker retention, less efficient delivery of services, etc., which research shows results in worse outcomes for individuals and families involved in these systems," said a concerned anoynomous Health Department employee.

The Revolutionist was able to confirm initial whistleblower emails, and calls on Mesa County Health Department to provide better transparency on this concerning news.

After being shot, Wilson fled, making contact with three other vehicles and causing one of them to overturn and sending another person to the hospital. Patti Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene of the final crash.
The Denver Police Department has had a policy against firing into fleeing cars for over a decade now, for safety reasons illustrated by the events of June 19.
While the CIRT investigation continues, the community continues to ask questions, and the reactionaries continue to pounce on this incident to shape a narrative about trans violence.
Meanwhile, a mom is grieving, and a human has lost their life."
