How important is the Hot Sulpher Springs municipal election to the residents of Basalt?
Frisco to Silt?
Critically important. All politics are local politics. The entire demographic that surrounds you and the community you live in has an effect on your overall community health.
The news in Carbondale is terrific. Congrats to Bonedale for defeating Bill Lamont.
The news in Basalt is deeply troubling. RFTA board member and crony just about everywhere Jacque Whitsitt pulled in her...well. Cronies...and defeated Glenn Rappaport for Mayor. Yes, Scott Condon is in a happy gloat this morning up on the Aspen Times.

It's a brave new world.

The ECT thinks it’s time to keep track of the (NEW) number of home foreclosures in Eagle/Gypsum (by Zip code) – right after this new crew is sworn into office. So the ECT will!
