John Colson:
"In other action the trustees:
• Learned from regional fire officials that work is under way to staff the Silt fire station, which is part of the Burning Mountains Fire Protection District, with personnel and equipment to provide full emergency services protection 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The station is expected to be operating within a couple of weeks, according to Karen Maddalone, president of the Burning Mountains board of directors, and Rifle Fire Chief Mike Morgan.
• Announced that the sale closed last week on the site for a new Dollar General store in town, which is to be built in the 300 block of Main Street some time this spring.
• Approved liquor licenses and special events permits for concerts at the Stoney Ridge Pavillion this summer...." (Read up on Colson's view of corruption within the Town of Silt? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Silt to consider raises for mayor, trustees tonight" (sub) "‘Emergency' ordinance could mean new pay rate to be effective next month"
In what appears to be still yet another stunningly brilliant covert operation; Super-Investigative journalist John Colson scores another headline on the 'shady' public leaders in Silt, Colorado.
Silt is the local Tea Party capital and home to the most popular local mayor in the history of Garfield County, Dave Moore.
Locals are familiar with the everyday sight of Colson and his old pickup parked alongside I-70 as he daily stakes out the comings and goings of Moore and company.
Rumor has it that Silt banned Colson from entering the city limits at the same time they allegedly ran local troublemaker 'bethatesantero' out of town.
Since then, the long morning commute for downvalley construction workers is broken by CB chatter 'when they pass Colson' they are 1/3 of the way to Aspen.
If we are to believe this incredibly astute reporting this morning, the Town of Silt is 'guilty' of encouraging residents to run for public office!
Do we dare to hope for one of Mayor Daves' succinctly worded Letters to the Editor over the next few days explaining this incredible news?
Stay tuned!
John Colson:
"SILT, Colorado — The Board of Trustees tonight will be talking about a proposed ordinance giving a pay raise to newly elected trustees, and to a new mayor when one is elected.
The trustees voted on March 12 to direct town attorney Lee Leavenworth to draw up an ordinance raising trustee salaries from the current rate of $100 per meeting attended to a flat rate of $400 per month.
For the mayor, the new pay rate is to be $600 per month, up from the present rate of $200 per meeting attended.
The board typically meets for two regular meetings a month, on the second and fourth Monday of the month.
The new pay rate could take effect immediately after the April 3 municipal election if adopted as an emergency ordinance, according to a memo from Leavenworth.
Leavenworth drew up an emergency version of the ordinance for tonight's meeting, as well as a regular ordinance that would not take effect until after the municipal election in 2014.
He could not be reached for comment on Friday afternoon.......(OMG!!!....whisper..whisper..)

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Dollar store coming to Main Street in Silt"
(...sighs....rolls eyes.....pours something a little stronger into her morning cuppa....)
Here's another tourism marketing and economic development idea for the Town of Silt.
Capitalize on being the only town on the Western Slope of Colorado that has its own 'stalkarazzi' aka John Colson.
Picture this!
You can snap photos of him lurking out at the entrance into Silt...just sitting there with his trusted steno book and #2 pencil in that old truck of his.
Go online to a handy 'spy gear' store and grab up some 'Big Brother' cameras and hidden mics. Then plaster them all over town. Let the town hall employees monitor the closed circuit screens and listen in to all conversations that might tell you: "Where's John Colson??"
Feed him false tips and leads through groups of anonymous bloggers and then film his antics chasing down those leads!
Wrap all that up into a script and ship it off with a solicitation to be the next big reality show on TV.
Then add a "Hot News!!" viral social media button on that great new website of yours and launch a global campaign soliciting votes promoting your effort to get on one of the major TV networks.
win-win.
BTW, a Dollar Store is a great idea, we need one in the area. Hope it hasn't been sabotaged by leaks from your resident stalkarazzi reporter.
