VEP board in disarray

Anne, we hardly knew ye.

Anne "Mercury" Morris, she of the football analogies the first and only time she attended a VEP board meeting, has submitted her resignation. 

Since the new board was assembled a few months back, they have barely had a quorum: One guy moved to Fort Collins, one guy's business, if it's open, it going for that "abandoned" look, one guy refuses to attend for religious reasons, and now Anne (she of the second hospital board recall, for extra credit, go back and read the letter she wrote to the editor about the Wellness Center back in 2014 - Where is that wellness center, by the way?) has decided the responsibilities of attending a VEP board meeting and running the slide projector for Al "Mint" Milano in the same month are too overwhelming.

I'm wondering why these flakes interview, why they are appointed, and why they enjoy jerking the other members of the VEP board, the Estes Park business stakeholders, and the taxpayers who book their hotels and pay the 2% lodging tax around.  VEP should have a funeral, because, man, it smells like a rotting carcass.  This town is run by nincompoops who aren't even qualified to manage their own lives, let alone the lives of 3 million visitors.

Stop allowing the county commissioners to appoint people who have no interest in serving on boards, just in screwing the town and their invented enemies.  Stop allowing Ron Norris to pick his friends for boards, who have no interest in serving, just screwing the town and their perceived enemies.

Put some legitimately qualified people on the VEP board, elect a board president that doesn't have to be hand-fed biweekly on how to conduct meetings, and spend the next few months selling off the remaining furniture and computer monitors, because it is clear no one in charge currently is capable of managing a pile of money that could be better utilized patching holes around leaky colostomy bags.

I'm always fascinated by the question of why Marie Cenac entered local politics

Okay so I'll say it
