And if she was running the Crosier Mountain trail pre-sunrise with a head lamp, this is problematic re mountain lion attack.

Is not their Flat Stanley pedophilia, although that is problematic, it is the fact that they claim to have a staff of twelve, yet churn out an average of one "news" story (usually on the Stanley, although occasionally it is a poem about snow) per week. They conducted a poll that had a response rate of one in sixty residents, and drew charts and graphs based on the results. Oh, and they referred to the Estes Park News as the "shopper", while the former hospital spokesmodel Wendy Rigby referred to the EVVice effort as a "blog". So we've got that going for us, the circular firing squad that is Estes Park internecine warfare.

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...

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

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...

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...
