lol.
Unless you have sat through a Pitkin County Commissioner's meeting (SandBox Nanny has), you cannot relate to ZG's dilemma.
If you have sat through these mind-numbing tests of endurance, then you will be able to pick up on the barely disguised tone of glee and relief in 'ZG's' words.

SandBox Comments: Aspen Times "Elected officials need a calculator"
Yes, Elizabeth. They most certainly do.
This topic of completely footing the bill for We-Cycle program founders Mirte Mallory and Philip Jeffreys to launch a private small business is one that has been hot among commentators for months.
Set aside the idiocy of the dollar amount they're asking for and the projections on selling a product that is unlikely to sell at even half of projections; do not forget that this subsidy was verbally granted by commissioners and council at a time and over the needs of Aspen's low-income childcare program.
Yes, thank goodness for Pitkin County Commissioner Robb Ittner. That brave Republican that took the leap into the Blue Sea at mid-terms.
He has a calculator and a clue.

SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News "County rejects Marks’ bid for volunteer post"
In a stunning reveal of where the core divisiveness in Aspen lies; Commissioner Rachel Richards, Commissioner Jack Hatfield and Commissioner Michael Owsley drop the masks and show true personalities.
With vicious precision, this trio of commissioners assassinate the character of Marilyn Marks as she attempts to volunteer for a public board.
A very special appreciation goes to Commissioner Robb Ittner and Commissioner George Newman for representing the people rather than a personal, hate filled agenda.
Special thanks also goes to Marilyn Marks for her pro-active stance in holding the City of Aspen and the County of Pitkin accountable and up to transparency (albeit the only means to get those duties out of local government is forced means).
