SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News 'Ireland submits European road trip bill"
But....Mayor Mick supports almost anything.
Especially if whatever the cause is supports ink and photos.
Was he sent on this mission to Europe by the Aspenites?
No? He just decided to find a write-off and look for a way to make it a partial work trip?
But. All of this info he brought home is also found on Google. And that's free. From the comforts of City Hall.
huh.

SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily New "City’s available affordable housing hits new heights"
We have been saturated with housing inventory for a lot longer than just a year.
And yet there's always a new affordable development on the table that gets higher consideration by the powers that be than projects that would bring jobs and put stronger cash flow back into the community.
Such irony those same powers that be disregard the commons needs for the most basic of assistance programs and continually push the cost of living ceiling higher.
Not to mention there are few to no jobs except the ones paying less than a living wage.
By all means, Mayor Mick.
Let's just keep forcing every development to build "affordable" housing and pushing those out-of-reach, not needed projects like Burlingame.

SandBox Comments: Summit Daily News "Breckenridge pot shops angry over high licensure fees"
We're not sure what marijuana based small business expects.
They bring years of complex work to our municipal leaders. Just to get the structure in place.
The only benefit they bring to state revenues is through sales tax. They bring nothing beneficial to our business friendly efforts because they cannot bank, they can't buy insurance, support businesses that are neighbors will not work with them because they can't afford to get caught up in the battle over legalities. They can't rent space and pump revenue into our commercial core.
And we haven't even started on the long list of social problems such as law enforcement and effects on our youth.
We repeat ourselves by saying that until the Feds and the State get the legalities worked out, there should be a complete stop, a moratorium on all marijuana based businesses.
We simply cannot financially carry these businesses any longer.
