If you want to know whether it is okay for tech companies to give away our personal data, look no further than Facebook on a blah market day. Over the past 52 weeks, FB has been up, it's been down, it took a relative "hit" when the news about Cambridge Analytica broke, and enjoyed a nice recovery when Mark Zuckerberg, testifying before Congress, didn't leak green fluid from his mouth like Ash in "Alien".

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 ...
