No surprise. Innocent victims are often victimized in Estes post-fact, because when everything is mandatorily sunny then nothing can be sad, and loose ends must be cut off or forgotten.

Estes Park would never make the Top Ten list of Smartest Communities in Colorado, and it might be a struggle for us to crack the top five towns intelligence-wise in Larimer County. Much of our local government is run like a rural public high-school Model UN club, with the cheerleaders and jocks providing cover for the lone scolarship winner to the nearby community college. Who runs the housing authority in town? One person. Who runs the hospital board? One person. Who runs the school? One person. Who runs the museum? One person. Who runs the library? One person. Who runs the media? WTFK? Patti aspires to it, but can't distinguish shit from Shinola. Who runs the planning commision? One person. Who runs the Chamber, VEP, every service organization? One person. Sure, there are however many warm bodies necessary to fill the seats that make up the board, but one person on that board calls the shots, and if someone attempts to challenge that authority, they are quick...

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
