Congratulations to the newly-elected trustees

Throughout the campaign, I have only had good things to say about the campaign and the preparation of our newly elected board member Kirby Nelson-Hazelton.

If you don't believe me, you can check it out yourself at the Colorado Switchblade on-line, an interview that was conducted two weeks ago.

So do not in any way construe this as sour grapes or a gotcha post.  I'm not forwarding these photos on to the town or state, I don't care one bit, it was a free and fair election and Kirby Nelson-Hazelton got more votes than the incumbents, which is impressive in its own right.  I only want to know where I can get those free yard signs next election.

 

This is from the town website.  It is not something I dug through the trash to get, it is right there if you search "election" and order the results by most recent.  I am not claiming it means anything more than a declaration that no money was declared expended during the reporting period 3/15/22 to 4/1/22

    Hi John - I emailed this to you as well, but here is a link to my finance report for period 1/5/22-3/15/22: https://dms.estes.org/weblink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=194077&dbid=0, which includes the yard signs. They were unfortunately not free. :)

    You can find this on the same page you found my report for 3/15/22-4/1/22, which is www.estes.org/candidates. It's linked as the "March 15, 2022" report.

      Thanks for the quick response Trustee Nelson-Hazelton. I didn’t know you could switch back and forth between forms, but I have an appointment with the Town Clerk next week and hope to learn more about campaign finance so I don’t have to campaign in perpetual fear next time - take the free Post lunch, turn down the free Post lunch, take the gift watch, turn down the gift watch, etc.

The Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (EPEDC) is patting itself on the back because "the award for 'Small Community of  the Year' was presented" to them by the Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC) "on behalf of a town that sets its sights on building a more resilient, inclusive, and vibrant community and economy after recovering from the devastating Colorado floods in 2013." How has the following economic development been beneficial to Estes Park? The Estes Park Event Center, completed in spring 2014, has not brought all the big events expected from outside of our community.  It is not profitable. The Estes Park Medical Center (i.e., Park Hospital District) did not have the money to build the EPMC/Anschutz Wellness Training Center within the two years specific in the "Contract for Sale of Lot 4" to John Cullen, owner of the Stanley Hotel (i.e., Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC).  Since the money was not raised, according ...

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

Image
Trustee Cenac is very anti-government involvement in constituents' problems, which is interesting, since she takes up one of the precious six seats on the town board, which is ostensibly a local government entity, organized to protect and serve the local taxpayers. If you go back through any noise ordinance discussion over the past six years, you will find, without fail, when she buzzes in to talk (and she never feels uncompelled to share this laissez faire opinion), that she constantly and consistently lectures the audience on where they choose to live determining whether they have any right to complain. This is known as victim blaming - If you are raped, it is because of the way you dress, if your business is vandalized by a customer bent on destruction, it is because your windows aren't strong enough to withstand getting hit with a large rock, and, God forbid, if you can't tolerate 14 straight hours of 100+ decibel noise, it is because your ears are pansies and you pic...

Okay so I'll say it

Jeez we have a bunch of milquetoast pretend journalists in town. The guy who was arrested locally a few clicks back, Keaton M.A. Krell, is the same guy who sexually assaulted a bunch of underage females in Linn County, Kansas, and, brazenly, got away with it. The airtight connection is through his wife or ex-wife or whoever star pupil and non-profit wunderkind Candace Krell is. But even then, c'mon, how many folks named Keaton M.A. Krell are running around diddling little girls? Get some cojones, POR (paper of record) and POR (podcast of record). You did the work (sort of) now publish the findings. Stop hiding behind the town as an excuse to avoid going to press - the PIO and TA aren't going to give you anything because they are scared of their own shadows. For the low IQ crowd and too easily unconvinced: Note how Candace Krell used to give her home address on LinkedIn as Estes Park, Colorado Here's another big whoopsie And this And this And this
