Terrific letter from Ruth Harrison. As always, unafraid to speak truth. Up on the Aspen Daily News.
Ruth Harrison:
"Editor:
It seems that John Maloy might be the only person who did not know that Art Abelman did not resign, nor was it abrupt. Also, that David Schmid had applied for the Aspen High School principal position.

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News/Letter to the Editor "Don’t blow up our money"
Ruth Harrison of Aspen reminds us all that it is that time of year again when our local leaders determine whether or not we can afford fireworks for various celebrations.
The stand that SandBox maintains on this issue is this:
Just say NO. As long as we have hungry and homeless citizens and struggling small businesses we have no business wasting a dime on a fireworks display.
There is a solution that unfortunately, our local leaders don't care to be bothered with.
Make the firework displays be self-sustaining. If they can bring enough tourism revenue to town to pay for themselves then of course, the folks would love to enjoy them.
Until that time comes, every dollar saved on fireworks needs to go to our local food banks, soup kitchens, homeless shelters and substance abuse facilities.

SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News/Letter to the Editor "Ski pass price unreasonable"
Ruth Harrison of Aspen asks the question inquiring minds have wanted to know the answer to for years:
"Editor:
The Aspen ski pass price is one of the highest in the country (not fair to quote the chamber price). Instead of offering so many different passes and racking your brains on how to increase skier visits, why not just lower the price of a full pass?..."
