Mike Coffman: “He does have the authority?”

It’s in our interest to protect the public health of our community to be able to merely make a statement that requests or demands that (The GEO Group) comply on behalf of our residents.

I think the notion that we're still at the point where neither DoD or VA has taken the lead--and I think that one of them has to have ownership for it.

I think the county and state may be prepared to go to court to force (GEO) to comply.

It has been an honor these first 2 years to represent the veterans--all the veterans in the district.
