These are the politics that need to be dealt with in our community:
Q. What is our community identity?
Q. Where is Estes Park going (as a matter of fact where have we come from) and how are we going to get there, wherever that might be?
Q. Who should run town hall…town staff -or- the citizens of the town?
Q. Where does town hall direction come from?
These are important community questions everyone ignores, why?
We have joiners not leaders; those joiners have small, self serving, secret agendas they attend to.
Example: Eric B., Eric is working double overtime to save his spouses city hall job, he does nothing else, nothing.
Example: Chuck Levine, “I am going to heal this town”. That infers an illness, problems, confusion…well four years later how is it going? No one knows what needed to be healed, let alone how this was going to happen. It sounded good at the time though.
Example: John Baudek, (your mayor), spent eight years in office. John had five town administrators and he killed the Chamber of Commerce. Cool, but where, what, and how did that benefit us?
Example: Your economy is summer tourist based, renting rooms and selling curios…how is that different than 1917?
Example: Everyone recently hailed the 3 million visitors this year coming to RMNP… that was normal in the 1970’s.
Example: Estes Park evolved into a retirement community by accident, how will this affect our economy in ten years?
Example: What is being done to encourage a balanced planned community; with families, businesses, and activities?
Example: There is a large resort being built on the border of Rocky Mountain National Park – up Fall River, but you are only concerned with the condos that planned in your own neighbor hood,…how is that good for preserving open space, is that responsible development?
It is rumored that a lot of learned people have retired to Estes Park…well you could have fooled me!
