Does SandBox Nanny 'have it in' for John Colson?
Absolutely not.
Does John Colson deliberately poke, prod, antagonize and otherwise borderline abuse his power as a local investigative reporter?
Absolutely.
Has he done so for years?
Pretty much.
John Colson is often seen by locals as a 'radical liberal'. A 'moonbat'. A 'left loon'. All proudly carried by John titles in his weekly column "Hit and Run", up on The Aspen Times.
The question SandBox Nanny has for Colson today on this article, is related to how obvious it is that he's struggling with having to put out 'clean' and 'no yellow ink' reports.
Yesterday the hit on the Town of Silt was angst at the lack of childcare for the Silt anti-gas group.
Today, Colson seems to imply that the Town of Silt should go round up money it does not have, and do a capital improvement on the water system because of a couple of fairly unsubstantiated water quality issues over the past two years.
If Nanny recalls correctly, the issues had something to do with illegal sewage dumping by a local company.
Here's the question for John Colson:
Is there anything the general public can do, to help you ease into some kind of comfort level with your new role of community oriented reporting?
We'll be glad to help.
just sayin.
SandBox Nanny sends out another big thank you to Silt Mayor Dave Moore and his administration.
For holding the line on not spending more than what comes in.
For still managing, within the first balanced budget in many a year; to keep Silt not only thriving but growing.
For being creative in finding this terrific grant money that will take the burden off the backs of the folks out here paying taxes.
Keep up the great work.
