This just in: Kirby H. demands to be appointed to Platte River Power Authority board

Trustee Kirby H., the Estes Park town board member who is modeling her career after the character Tracy Flick in "Election", has asked for a special session tonight (Tuesday, April 30) to challenge the recent appointment of newly-elected mayor Gary Hall to the Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) board.
"This is an outrage", Kirby proclaimed, pullling out a pocket notebook and flipping to a page where she had written the word "outrage" in blue and yellow magic markers, heavily underlined in green. "I have lived in this community since 2014, and served on every committee, including the Yogurt Rehab Committee, that was available for me to serve on, and while I am happy to mouth the words "I would be happy to serve wherever" that is definitely not what I believe or deserve, which is that I deserve to replace Gary Hall on the PRPA board. I want to make it abundantly clear that, while I served on the Platte River Power Authority board in a purely imaginary, all in my mind, role, for the past four years, that does not preclude me from serving on the board now, or in the future, or prevent me from telling people how much I feel their pain from also not being given the opportunity to serve on the PRPA board." At press time, the PRPA admitted they were flummoxed, since they only generally appoint mayors and town staff from the four participating communities to this board, and it is a purely honorary role anyway, since they will do whatever they want to circumvent their joke proposal to go carbon neutral by 2050 but, recognizing she meant business, quickly ushered Trustee Kirby onto a board they created specifically for her, giving her a desk in a broom closet along with some Rubik's Cube-type puzzle games to occupy her for two hours a week.

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
