A POX ON ESTES "BLIGHT"


3616       Registered voters in Estes Park

2207       Votes cast
61.03%    Electorate responded

60.63% voted YES - 1338
39.37% voted NO - 869




The voters of Estes Park overwhelmingly adopted a citizen’s initiated ordinance calling for the retirement of the Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority.


Three months ago the citizens of this valley voted to impose a tax upon their property in order to remove control of the fire department  from  the town trustees. No one was pleased with the way the town trustees were operating essential fire services, a special district HAD TO BE formed to guarantee fire services.


Obviously this group of trustees grossly misread the citizens of Estes Park and subjected the private citizens of Estes Park to enormous personal legal expense just to have a voice in their own local government:

Eric Blackhurst
Dorla Eisenlauer
Chuck Levine
Jerry Miller
John Ericson
 Mayor Bill Pinkham

 April 2010 three trustees come up for reelection:
Eric Blackhurst
Dorla Eisenlauer
Richard Homeier
