Listen to you heart, when its calling for you

As the most recent vote demonstrates, the board of trustees as currently constituted is out of alignment with the wishes of the majority of the population of Estes Park within town limits. The trustees will argue this point, as they do everything with my name attached, but at a minimum, two to three of the six should have some sympathy with the voters as regards responsible development. Facing the dais from the public speaking podium, there would be no acknowledgement of this truth from the three trustees currently seated to the right of the mayor, and perhaps one, maybe occasionally two depending on the particulars, who can read the writing on the wall to the left of the mayor. So the four to five who definitely march to their own minority opinion drum, you either have to be spectacular in other areas of governance and engaging with people you disagree with on a regular basis (still have yet to hear from you besides attacking me), or you may need to start rethinking how the wind bl...

So sorry

Image
One hour before close of polls: For everyone who worked so hard, it just wasn't possible with the town board using our meetings to campaign against us, and the fake newly-minted EVUN group of white supremacists Jim Crow-era voter suppression tactics. Yes-40% No-60%, reversed and smaller margin on 300

Since I have been "erased" by the estes.org website

Image
Emails to the town board through my regular account are now blocked from public view. So much for transparency. But what the hell do you readers care? It's just free news to you that you can edify yourself with as you sit on your couches eating Fritos, doing nothing except allowing your democracy to circle down the drain while the front line fighters get mowed down on your behalf. Hi all - Two things that I would be interested in the town media exploring when they get the time: 1) Those of you who have ever driven on our nation's interstate highway system may be familiar with the occasional annoying practice of some truck drivers occupying both lanes of the interstate (passing lane and driving lane) on the two-lane sections and not passing each other, just driving side by side for miles and miles and miles (generally well below the posted speed limit for normal driving conditions) without allowing anyone behind them to pass. I'm sure this is illegal, but without enf...

Brown Cenac and Younglund just did what???

Our three geriatric Board members just voted not to extend the board meeting past 10 o'clock. This may be the first time in the history of the town board (since it first met in 1917) that the trustees waved the white flag and said there were too tired to perform their duties. Cory Booker just stood up and spoke for 25 straight hours on the Senate floor, but Trustee Lead Ass Nervous Laugh (aka Trustee Drone On and On) can't be up past his bedtime? It is sad that the mayor feels compelled to talk mindlessly about every topic that comes up for discussion, it is sad that Trustee Drone On and On uses Liaison Time to tell people to spend more time looking at particular items in the Consent Agenda to recognize how great the town is, but it is especially sad when they can't bring themselves to finish a board meeting they themselves contribute most to making run beyond three hours. What message did this vote send to town staff and stakeholders, beyond "We are petulant and l...

So apparently Jody Street is now accusing me of lying

Image
The Trail-Gazette is a nonsense publication, run by clowns. I don't have the time or frankly the ability to generate fake emails. For the still-skeptics and non-believers (and Jody Street's family, if he has any) I am happy to meet at the local library or your favorite coffee shop and open the entire email chain.

Welcome Bill Hanbury

To a town and a dynamic you are certainly quite familiar with, that of information and truth being hidden from the public, and only a select few being granted access to critical decision-making data. We still don't know what happened during the aborted CEO search, and likely never will, but when its not your money (meaning when it doesn't come directly from you via door to door shakedown, but rather comes indirectly from you because visitors don't have as much left to spend after VEP extorts their share at the entrance gate), you are a mushroom in every sense of the word, and you and VEP can run things with Jeffrey Epstein-level impunity. Plus you don't live here, which is critical because those of us who live here are automatically disqualified from any input on matters or positions of importance. Our stupidity in thinking living here and having skin in the game should be a requirement for making decisions that impact other residents' lives is outmoded and juven...

A century later, and the description still applies

to over 100 EP residents and board members: "It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." Remember to vote for the smashers. You can identify them by their repeated assurances that they aren't smashers.
