Working in tandem with our city departments, we will humanely relocate the individuals living at the location and clean up the area to protect the health of the Thornton Creek Watershed.

Even that could be excused…as long as you maintain your connections to power, your own and that of others, everything can be excused.

* on the word cipher: The mathematical symbol (0) denoting absence of quantity; zero.
