Get Estes Park out of CAST
CAST is currently nothing more than a junket for whichever board member serves as its liaison, and especially currently. Free weekend ski trips to Breckenridge and Aspen and Vail, paid for with taxpayer funds, and no follow-up or genuine benefit. Watch the recent town board meeting liaison reports if you think otherwise. The current liaison just got back from Breckenridge, and said two things were interesting, one of which we know about already (workforce housing) and one of which she couldn't explain (geothermal energy). That is the level of detail required to justify wasting taxpayer money? There is always the promise of a follow-up report which is never delivered and apparently never required. So it is just a free 3-day vacation at taxpayer expense for one lucky board member. Estes Park should be ashamed - a robot or gerbil could contribute as much to the public discourse, and would require much less in the form of a compensated hotel room with travel expenses.
