You don’t need to await the results

Stacy Ferree, who did everything a candidate should do to win a seat on a governing board in Estes Park, including putting in hundreds of hours of sweat equity, will not get enough votes to join the Country Club, sorry, school board.  The last minute T-G newspaper whitewash of “oh my gosh, suddenly Estes Park is testing better than Harvard” is pathetic and sad.  If they improved that much during Covid, the first thing I would explore is the potential for rampant cheating.

Inbreeding kills

Campaigning as a “team” is pathetic and sad.  But that is what works in Estes Park, where no one gets involved except to ask Bill Pinkham how they should vote.  He just streamlined the process of voting without thinking, basically, voting on the toilet between bites of sandwich and scrolling the most recent People magazine profile.  The kids suffer, the hospital patients suffer, the smart money votes with their feet anyway.  Bill Pinkham rules over a squalid redneck empire.  All hail the king.

Note:  The date stamp on this is 30 minutes before the polls close.  It will not require updating.

First update:  The king is dead.  Estes Park awakens to a new day.  Everything up top was written under the cloud of the old inbred leadership, and a newspaper that genuflected to their whims.  Anyone who is part of the old guard should start running scared, because heads will roll.

Second update:  And now you really don’t need to ponder. The “run as a team” concepts just got thwacked like a lame gazelle at a lions conference. https://www.larimer.org/sites/default/files/election-results/2021/Larimer-County-2021-Coordinated-Election-on-11-03-at-514PM.pdf
