King, like Jim Bensberg, have plans to run for the state legislature and only serving half a term on Council until House 21 opens up. Another promoter of King Bach and his dictatorship is not what this City needs. Give me a representative of the people who isnt trying to have a career in politics jumping from one seat to the next.
Why would we be interested in electing someone who votes like he hates government spending….yet clearly relishes the power to wield this hatred to the detriment of the people who vote for hiim?
He lost my vote as soon as he mentioned supporting a strong mayor. Steve Bach is no Bob Isaac.
Another Bach cone head as in Leigh AND DUGGAN
Just vote no.

King sounds like he will be another puppet in Bach’s power hungry, unprofessional,corrupt and secretive administration. Bach has Melcher and is trying to build a council that he can control and manipulate in order to pursue his own agenda and the agenda’s of the developers and other anonymous individuals who stand to benefit from Bach’s corrupt, uneithical, and secretive behavior. It is time to seriously consider a recall petition. Bach is destroying our city. His self-serving behavior, decisions, and lack of ethics is killing our city. Any company looking to start a business or relocate here just needs to read the newspapers or search the internet to realize that Colorado Springs is not the place to start a business. Shame on you Bach !
I just read Keith King’s website http://keithking.org/, It is very apparent that he will definately be one of Bach’s puppets. His objectives and beliefs are almost indentical to Bach’s. I would not be surprised if Bach is behind his run for office. He is most likely another one of Bach’s cronies right up there with Melcher and Leigh. Hopefully the voters of Colorado Springs are starting to understand how stubborn, unethical, and destructive Bach and his associates are and will vote for city council candidates with integrity, honesty, vision, and intelligence. Hopefully they will vote for candidates who do not have a hidden, self-serving agenda. We have seen enough of that in the last year.
