Election season 2011.
Just a taste of the 'mother of all wars' that's coming for November 2012.
SandBox Nanny always appreciates the viewpoint of Maurice Emmer of Aspen, Colorado.
But it was the title that gave Maurice a spot on The Box this morning.
"Editor:
Mr. Allen may be right that it is unpleasant to serve on City Council because council has critics (Aspen Daily News, Oct. 26). It sucks. Council could make its job more pleasant by rejecting efforts to get involved in contentious matters, but it seems to prefer the reverse. Purely as an example and taking no sides, no deity proclaims the city must be in the hydro business. An affirmative decision of council is putting us in that business. Are private citizens who believe their property rights are affected supposed to roll over just because council is a bunch of nice guys? Just because they might not have budgeted for the inevitable lawsuits? Council must expect pushback. This is politics. If it sucks to be on council just look in the mirror for an explanation. Maurice Emmer, Aspen"
