The Estes Parkian’s Story Of The Year : 2007
Wilderness designation for Rock Mountain National Park.
Marylyn Musgrave and Mark Udall promised a comprehensive economic impact study for Estes Park before she/he would sponsor a wilderness bill for RMNP, while our Mayor didn’t understand the need for a comprehensive study of how this bill could affect our community.
Marylyn did take care of her agricultural voter base though, Grand Ditch. John and Bill wanted photo op’s while Marylyn took care of her voter base.
Did anyone ever explain why wilderness designation for RMNP would be a good thing for Estes Park?

No!
Did our elected leaders even ask?
No!
Wilderness on one side of an invisible border and on the other side Sappy Estes Park; over developed condos, go carts, traffic jams, tee shirts and greasy burgers. As soon as Fall River leaves the proposed wilderness area and enters the Town of Estes Park it is channeled in a concrete storm drain; devoid of fish, dotted with beer bottles, cardboard boxes, rubber ducks, cigarette butts, soft drink cups, pollution from parking lots, storm drainage, and occasional raw sewerage (we will not mention the kayak coarse line-o- crap from EPURA). Fall River is condo developed or concrete lined on both banks all the way through Estes Park, much like the Chicago River so familiar to Mayor John Baudeck. A visitor to Estes Park would be hard pressed to find a fishable stretch available to the public. Hopefully our new lone wolf will eat any green backed trout before it floats into Estes Park to feed on cigarette butts.
This is getting embarrassing!
“Mayor Wana Be” Bill Pinkham testified before the United States Congress in support of Wilderness designation, mumbling in a deep baritone some gibberish about marketing the area. Would someone pull “Mayor Wana Be” Pinkham aside and give him a copy of the law suit he is involved in (and loosing quite badly I might add), concerning the lawful definitions of marketing, and how a statutory community in Colorado is prohibited from any marketing activities. The Town inevitably heads back to district Court to determine the depth of their unlawful activities, that testimony will make interesting reading especially since the Colorado State Appeals Court was so articulate in their definitions. Reading is not Bill’s big suit, he prefers denial.
This is getting embarrassing!
The town sponsored a bill before the State Legislation that removes the sales tax limit for all statutory communities in Colorado. Wasn’t that nice of them? They are promoting this as opening the door for the development of a Marketing District funded by a pillow tax in Estes Park. As a Statutory community they cannot be involved in marketing, period. They are not Home Ruled, so it is not applicable to Estes Park. Denial, the gift that keeps on giving all year long!
This is getting embarrassing!
The community is currently completely divided and at war with it’s self concerning land use and condo development, advertising and marketing, open space, corruption. The Hospital Board, School Board, Recreation District, Library District, and Town Board are all holed up in their own respective shells - operating in their own obnoxious vacuums.
A community at war with it’s self - a community with no collective vision or direction – a community with a failing economy.
Why are our elected town board trustees testifying before congress on behalf of the National Park?

Why are we investing in Larimer County Parks when you do not have your own house in order?
A population that has no clue concerning it's own politics!
In 2007 an average 2,678 people per day read the Estes Parkian, representing every state in the union and serverial forgien counties.
