One Thornton resident’s take on the civic happenings of Colorado’s sixth largest city.

The Thornton Civic Observatory is a blog providing summary of and commentary on the public meetings and records of the Thornton municipal government.

Commentary posts are labeled commentary. All other posts are write-ups of publicly available information (meetings, videos, and documents) with links to the original sources.

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.
