Backlash after commissioner’s personal post disturbs treasurer, leaves former mayor ‘unsettled.' Pond explains genesis of ‘one cross-party establishment’ post; says he never threatened anyone

Montrose County Commissioner Sean Pond’s social media post (since deleted) on his personal page naming several public officials and others as part of a local “one cross-party establishment” spilled over into a county work session last week, when County Treasurer Rosemary Murphy took to the mic.

“You do not have the authority to define what kind of a Republican I am,” said Murphy, identifying herself as a lifelong party member.

In his post, which he deleted after learning of Murphy’s concerns, Pond highlighted public officials and media members as “The Montrose County Establishment.” Pond created a flowchart image showing a purported “one cross-party establishment” that he described as “Moderate Republicans working in the same political circle as Democrats” and “liberal activists, media and administrators.”

Beth McCorkle was among a collection of people who spent considerable time in the Montrose City Council chambers this summer, imploring the council not to forward a slate of proposed charter amendments to the November ballot. Now she is a member of a group formally opposing the potential charter amendments.

“Two or three weeks before everything was finalized, you know, it was pretty clear what was gonna happen and that these were all gonna be passed, so we started that process, we started the issues committee, we started getting people together to talk about why we needed to oppose these,” McCorkle explained recently

Dubbed the Charter Issues Committee, the group has set about Montrose to reach voters before the November election. These efforts are currently in full swing, as evidenced by group’s signage popping up around town.
