Congratulations to Powderhorn CEO Andy Daly on his appointment for Mayor of Vail.
Former CEO of Vail Resorts, Andy and partners purchased Powderhorn last year and has been busy making improvements and getting ready for the 2011-2012 season.
Why would the folks over in Vail not think that is a conflict of interest?
Because, he is Andy Daly.
"After the council voted against electing Kurz as mayor, the council voted unanimously for Daly.
“I think it was appropriate once Andy was nominated, and I did not get the votes; it was appropriate for me to vote on behalf of Andy,” Kurz said later. “I think he'll do a great job.”
Outgoing mayor Dick Cleveland, who did not seek re-election, said he has confidence in Daly's ability to take over as mayor. He said he'll have his hands full, though, just as Cleveland did when he first stepped into the role.
There will be a learning curve, and he'll have to figure out the best way to moderate discussions, Cleveland said, by “trying to figure out at what point either council comments or public comment has gone on too long.”
Daly has studied how the town works and how the council interacts and is confident in himself as mayor.
“I'm committed to keeping Vail a cutting-edge, world-class resort, and I think I'm in a better position to do that as mayor,” Daly said."
