Great advice from Hauenstein. Up on the Aspen Daily News.
Ward Hauenstein, Aspen:
"...The city does not want to discuss the issues related to the hydro project. They want to divert attention, and cry WMD and Swift Boat. They want the public to be distracted from the city’s deceptive process and lack of fiscal responsibility. The city wants to make the public fear a group that has exercised its legal and ethical rights to oppose the hydro project.
SOS is not the dark, sinister, extreme right wing boogie man that Mayor Mick Ireland tries to project. The city government is trying to use fear to distract attention from the real issues. WMD, Swift Boat, you are with us or against us. These tactics are despicable and damaging to democracy. I think the citizens of Aspen can see through them if they just see it for what it is.
I am outraged by the behavior and culture of my city government. The many irrational rants delivered by our mayor and condoned by council is a disgrace to the democratic process. My sponsorship of the petition on the hydro project was a protest of the city’s behavior.
Be a critical thinker. Be a skeptic. Be a cynic. Who is engaged in misinformation?...."
