Where’s Waldo?

Has anyone seen the slate of candidates for Mayor and Trustee? Isn’t it interesting that just a couple of months away from the election we don’t even have the benefit of knowing who might be running? Jeez, the Presidential candidates announced months ago and we still have nearly a year to go. Here in little old Estes Park candidates are apparently in hiding. Could it be they are ashamed? Maybe there won’t be any candidates. Would we just close down the Town? That would be interesting. Staff runs the Town now, so they don’t really need, or want, a mayor or trustee. That just forces them to go public with their opinions, a real bother.

Some have speculated that Levine and Doylen want to be mayor. Some say it’s Pinkham all the way. What have the bushes shaken out folks? Who do you think (or know) will be running for these offices? Baudek is term limited, didn’t get on the school board so maybe he’ll go away. If anyone is going to step forward, isn’t it time for them to disclose their intention?
