Lack of Transparency and Accountability by Mesa County is called out by a community member in these April 1, 2025 public comments.

A concerned citizen delivers a powerful public comment to the Mesa County Commissioners, alleging a "coordinated campaign of destruction, concealment, and abuse of power" to benefit private developers. Key concerns include missing permits for Palmer Drain piping, the destruction of the Skiff Avenue Canal (Palmer Drain), and the eminent domain taking of Bedows Reminisce Farm to benefit a private developer. The speaker also questions a potential conflict of interest involving Commissioner Cody Davis's Iron Wheel Subdivision, arguing the County prioritizes profit over agriculture. He demands the release of Palmer Drain permitting information, disclosure of Commissioner Davis' land holdings, and an immediate halt to the Bedows Reminisce Farm land taking.
