The parks and recreation district needs money. So they want to raise my property taxes. It is September 9, 2005 and they want us to vote on this November 1, 2005. The town seems to have plenty of funds, civic projects of all kinds - going on all over town.
The biggest majority of the increase will affect the business community; the town trustees publicly call the local businessmen stupid because 85% of the businesses turn over every five years. It seems running a town or a recreation district is not required to be efficiently run and pay its way, just stuff the money down a rat whole and ask for more. What’s a matter doesn’t the district have any business moxy?
Is this a revelation that just struck this group or is this a new tactic, sort of a sneak attack? The golf courses cannot operate at a profit? The golf courses in Vail, Steamboat, Fort Collins, Denver, etc. etc. are all revenue generators.

Please, do not waste your time - our time - everyone’s time, on a tax increase vote that will be turned down. No more taxes.
Instead of raising everyone’s property taxes to supplement poor management and if all you need is $250,000.00 to $300,000.00 dollars per year please consider the following:
Stop using treated potable drinking water to water the golf courses, when raw water is available at a fraction of the price.
