The proverbial door swung hard this week as Dawn Comstock was dismissed from her queenship at the Jefferson County Board of Health.
In typical fashion, there was zero transparency from the board of health as to why she was suddenly resigned.
The Denver Post reports her resignation followed a lengthy meeting of the health board behind closed doors to discuss the lone agenda item — Comstock’s employment.
None of the board members commented publicly about what happened in the two-hour executive session or whether they had asked for Comstock’s resignation. No public explanation was offered as to her departure.
About two hours after the meeting, Jefferson County Public Health released a statement from Jahn thanking Comstock for her “public health expertise and guidance” during the pandemic.
So there you have it. As the song goes: “Ding dong …”
Known as a tyrant by her subjects who were forced to live under her rule for nearly two years, news of her sudden ouster was met with great joy.
Couldn’t believe my eyes! Mega props to you, @coloradoparker, and jeffcokidsfirst for bringing down a ruthless petty tyrant!! You are an amazing group!!! Thank you!!!

As usual, some in the media had to make it all about the evil conservatives, even though Comstock seemed equally despised by her subjects.
WOW! Talk about misinformation. I guess the 5000 parents in the Jeffco Kids First group are ALL Republicans now. SWEET!! https://t.co/qZSxgA2eiZ

It’s the truly the dawn of a new day in @JeffcoColorado! Now it’s time to unite our county, @LDahlkemper @tkth @kerrforjeffco @CheriJahn. Let’s learn from these costly, painful mistakes. We need transparency & citizen involvement in the selection of our new @JeffcoPH ED.

So now what?
The only logical next step is to immediately end the #mandate in Jeffco. @JeffcoSchoolsCo is ready. Let’s go. https://t.co/zVjGP5PDWa
