My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Colorado
("consumer law" was the best category I could find.)
I hope this is a far-reaching issue that will garner some replies.
What can one do when a local government fails to provide services contained in state law or local regulations? I don't want to go on and on about my issues, I mean this more on a general level-- serious, continued, harmful failure to provide services. And I mean things that they are supposedly required to do.
More specifically, suppose there are zoning violations (county) that they are "required" to inspect, provide notice about, and have corrected (or sue), but it doesn't happen? Or suppose they are required to manage or remove dangerous plants or animals, and they fail to do that? I am talking about failures that impact many people.
When asking and escalating (repeatedly) doesn't work, what can one do? Can/how can one sue? There are some protections/sovereignty in place, but are they absolute? Can one obtain an injunction forcing action? (I think this is an interesting question in that normal (i.e., commercial) competitive, satisfaction, liability, or other forces don't apply).
I'm happy to provide much more detail about why I ask this, but again, for now, I don't want it to be about me or my selfishness. I wonder if this is an issue that affects many others.
Thanks!
