Isn’t it great to see the trails being built throughout the town? Generous groups have contributed to the trail system that will eventually be built along the remainder of Fish Creek and along Mary’s Lake Road etc. Of the contributors, those of us who pay tax in Estes Park have paid 47% of the cost.
Do all residents along Fish Creek pay Estes Park taxes? Hell no! Nor do they pay taxes along Mary’s Lake Road or many other areas that are targeted to be in the system. This is another idiotic plan put in place by EPURA and the idiot Trustees to avoid doing what they were supposed to do which was to help the downtown district improve business.
Why are the citizens of Estes Park paying for this system? Why do they pay even one dollar to build trails out of town? Just being neighborly? This is stupid and of no benefit to our Town. Do we really have so much money that there are no other needs we could fill? The answer to that is yes, we have too much money. This corrupt Town has been fleecing us for years and its time we said NO MORE!
Bond issues need passing? The quick answer is no, but this will be discussed in detail in the near future. Stay tuned.
