As always here at the Estesparkian we like to cut to the chase. Having watched town hall now for quite some time they are getting predictable. The 2017 gang aka Economic advisory commission, that board hand picked by staff to puppet town staffs plan to the public.
In real towns citizens commissions are elected by the towns citizens to give town staff direction on how the citizen’s monies are to be spent. Citizens at the top and the direction passed down to staff for action. Top down.
In Estes Park the opposite happens direction comes from the bottom up. Staff has something they want they form a blue ribbon panel, commission, advisory group etc., not elected by the public but hand picked by town staff. They meet for weeks on end, divide into teams headed by staff, and pointed into the predetermined direction.
Just watch:
Estes Park town staff wants a mass transit program modeled after the program in Bar Harbor, Maine. The plan is to park people in Estes Park and bus them into RMNP for the day. This mass transit plan will be the findings of the 2017 gang. Your visitor’s center is intented to be a park and ride.
Dam I’m good!!!
The Estesparkian on the job and at your service.
