SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News "Learn the facts"
" When the appeals court recently ruled that voted anonymous ballots are indeed public records, instead of enabling and engaging public comment and expert opinion on whether or not to appeal the decision to the Colorado Supreme Court, City Council held a secret meeting.
In this meeting they “directed” Aspen’s city attorneys, who both have massive conflicts of interest, to potentially spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to fight the ruling, — after all, it was Marilyn Marks who brought the original suit.
Meanwhile, Aspen’s bi-partisan Election Commission will be democratically engaging the public on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. in council chambers to discuss the ruling and the issues at stake for Aspen should the city (read: Mick) pursue a legal battle with statewide implications on election integrity.
Mick and his councilmen seem to prefer sending the not-so-subtle message that “City Hall knows how you vote.”
Marilyn, on the other hand, along with Colorado’s election activists and most citizens say, “No one, especially the government, should know how anyone votes.”
Be there. Learn the facts. Join the discussion."

SandBox Comments: Aspen Times/Letter to the Editor "Does city have a secret?"
"After the City Council has repeatedly refused to allow an agenda item and public comment on the decision, the Election Commission scheduled a public dialogue for 4 p.m. on Nov. 1 in the City Council chambers. All City Council members and the public have been encouraged to attend by Election Commissioner Ward Hauenstein...."
(Marilyn Marks)
Provocative wording? Yes.
Makes her point well and you're listening to her? You betcha.
Liked by most readers? Doesn't matter.
Worthy cause? Debatable. Most think very worthy.
Deserves to be ridiculed, defamed, slandered, shunned and abused with verbal assaults? No.
Political activist making great strides in catalyzing entrenched issues within local, state and national politics? Yes and doing a terrific job worthy of high praise.
Needs to be personally liked or socially acceptable to the majority in order to do that terrific job?
Nope. But should be.
Any of the above can be said about Marilyn Marks.
What's important in this post is the information on the Nov. 1, 2011 community input meeting.
Because if you have something to say about Marilyn Marks?
Please go say it there or cease and desist the public onslaught of defamation or slander against her.
just sayin.
