Almost impossible anymore to find news articles that quote Mayor Mick Ireland that reveal his thinking before he speaks.
How about we set aside the obvious in this latest from Mayor Mick to the editors of both Aspen papers today? That obvious being the fact that the hydro project dust-up is not a voter's ballot and to compare the two in relation to laws, ethics, rules, etc. is not only ludicrous it is rather bizarre. (Does make for a 'good' (?) jab at his nemesis Marilyn Marks though, doesn't it?)
And instead, let's focus on where Mick's angst likely lies.
In the fact that this pet project has turned out to be one that he can't simply ram down the throats of the folks up in Aspen and Pitkin County.
They have something to say and are willing to put their money up to have the freedom to say it.
Could they possibly desire anonymity so that they are socially safe from these kind of 'persuasion' tactics of powerful people?
This is not a popularity contest, it's a development project controversy. But if it was, Mick.
You probably would lose.
