From the City of Aspen on a number of issues, Garfield County BOCC and the City of Glenwood Springs on the Glenwood Adventure Park expansion and related tourism marketing; there are a number of valley-wide residents who feel similar to Mike Maple.
Mike Maple, Aspen:
"While I might not agree with some of the city's policies and decisions, I expect the city to comply with the letter and spirit of the law. Time and again, that seems to be too high a standard..."

SandBoxBlogs: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "G forces to increase at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park this summer"
And therein lies the rub (see related stories and public commentary here):
John Stroud:
"The new attractions are part of Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park's five-year expansion plan, which was approved last week by the Garfield County commissioners."
Other items in Stroud's piece today that sound like they're going to stir the pot of public commentary:
"...The new coaster is modest by steel roller coaster standards. The Cliffhanger tops out at about 54 feet, compared to the tallest roller coaster in the world, the Kingda Ka, at 456 feet, located at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey...."
"....A portion of the coaster will be visible from parts of Glenwood Springs extending above the piñon-juniper tree line, according to the master plan that was presented to the county last week. However, the steel framework is to be painted a dark color and should blend in with the hillside, according to the plan....."
"...“The good thing about this is it will double our capacity, from 1,100 rides per hour to 2,600 rides per hour,” he said. “That will significantly help with the line waits.”...."

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Martin, Samson to seek re-election to Garfield County board"
Say YES to John Martin.
Say MAYBE to Mike Samson. Time to wait and see if a viable conservative or independent steps up to race.
What GarCo voters really need to be focused on is getting a ballot measure together that increases our county representation to double what it is now. GarCo is one of the largest and most affluent counties in the state and is grossly under-represented.
John Stroud:
"GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado — Garfield County commissioners John Martin of Glenwood Springs and Mike Samson of Rifle plan to seek re-election to the Board of County Commissioners in the fall.
The incumbent commissioners, both Republicans, confirmed their intentions Monday. The 2012 election process officially kicks off this evening with the statewide GOP caucuses.
Two of the three seats on the Garfield BOCC are up for election in November. All three seats are currently held by Republicans.
Martin, 63, will be seeking his fifth term on the county board. He represents Commissioner District 2, which includes the eastern and northern sections of Glenwood Springs, plus New Castle and Silt.
Samson, 57, the current District 3 commissioner, will be seeking his second term as county commissioner. District 3 includes the Rifle, Parachute and Battlement Mesa communities...." (Read more? Click title)
