Another gross underestimation by national, state and local politicians throughout America is the power of true grass roots energy. We wonder if said politicians learned anything at mid-terms. Time will tell.
Here on The Western Slope of Colorado, mid-term elections along the west stretch of the I-70 corridor were a bloodbath.
Determined to allow no more casual draining to their hard-earned cash flows by the 'elite' power brokers in Glenwood Springs, New Castle, Silt, Rifle and Battlement Mesa; the little guys fought hard.
And won.
One of the most colorful elections was bringing Silt Mayor Dave Moore into office.
Dave is not the smoothest talker and his people skills sometimes leave a good deal to be desired. Come to think of it, a bit like Dubya and Perry.
No one can say that Dave Moore doesn't have enthusiasm nor can they say he doesn't get the job done.
Still slightly bruised from mortal combat, local conservatives can now look at the rapidly going up 'Silt Stoney Ridge Pavilion' and dream of the great grass roots style music concerts ahead.
On a side note, SandBox Nanny sends a thank-you to investigative reporter John Colson for this piece.
How very nice (sincerely) it is to see Silt finally given some 'as positive as John seems to be able to give to Silt' ink.
"SILT, Colorado — A core of movers and shakers here has banded together on a project aimed, in a way, at overcoming — or perhaps fulfilling — the promise represented by an old bumper sticker: Silt Happens..."
