OK let's try a little experiment. What happens when you take the Golden Good Government League, the Golden Civic Foundation, and the names of individuals or couples who serve on at least two of Golden's four infamous clone boards and cross-index them with Golden City Council campaign finance filings? How about this:

Patron / Pol	Webb Aldrich (1997)	Chuck Baroch (1995)	Carol Johnson (1995)	Bill McKee (1995)	Total
Golden Good Government League	$400.00	$250.00	$548.99	none	$1,198.99
Golden Civic Foundation	none	none	$113.99	none	$113.99
Robert & Victoria Lowry (3GL, GCF)	$100.00	$150.00	$95.00	$100.00	$445.00
Tom Plummer (GCF, GURA)	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00	$400.00
Dave Shuey (3GL, GCC)	$50.00	none	none	none	$50.00
Total Campaign Contributions	$2,070.93	$1,780.00	$1,687.97	$1,499.50	$7,038.40
Total Clone Contributions	$650.00	$500.00	$857.98	$200.00	$2,207.98
Clone Contributions as a Percentage of Total Contributions	31%	28%	51%	13%	31%

As we have noted elsewhere, the Greater Golden Area Chamber of Commerce (GCC), the Golden Good Government League(3GL), the Golden Urban Renewal Authority(GURA), and the Golden Civic Foundation (GCF) are thoroughly inbred already. With the exception of the Golden Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) these are non-public associations of consenting adults, and, as such, we at GOLDENCO.ORG would never impeach what they do in the privacy of their own boardrooms. However, all inbreeding comes with a genetic cost: grisly portents like two-headed calves or unresponsive city councils.
