To clarify the civic engagement mission of this blog, the title is being changed from Thornton Observer to Thornton Civic Observatory.
The About page has also been expanded to include the following:
The material posted on this blog is intended to support the civic engagement and deliberations of Thornton residents.
The site’s author has a viewpoint just as each reader does.
Readers are invited to go to the original sources, form their own positions, and productively engage their neighbors and city government in working toward a more equitable and just Thornton for all residents.
