More than two months after the Marshall Fire destroyed their neighborhoods, victims protested Saturday as clean-up efforts remain delayed amid legal battles

LOUISVILLE, Colo. — .

The planned clean-up is on hold after a lawsuit was filed against Boulder County by a recently formed nonprofit called DIGS, which stands for Demanding Integrity in Government Spending. It was incorporated by Michael Brown, who lead FEMA under President George W. Bush in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

"There is no injunction currently and there is no delay to date due to my client’s request for one. Injunctions are extraordinary and rare. If the Court agrees with our motion for an injunction, it will be because Boulder County’s bidding process violated Colorado law to the detriment of its citizens," said Williams in a statement.

I just don't understand why they aren't helping these people more rather than continuing to hold them back. They lost everything with the craziest fluke fire

It's a shame that once a disaster hits it doesn't also erase the covenants attached to it.

Do you agree with Boulder county implementing new code for the construction of homes; which would cost homeowners far more than what they can afford amidst the Marshall fire destruction, and the displacement of those who suffered from the fire losing their homes in the process.
