Randal Staggs: Must need money
Advertisement
Hayden — As we all know, tough economic times have hit everyone in some way or another, including Routt County and Steamboat. However, I find it interesting that a few years ago it was very rare to see someone chalking tires downtown in two-hour parking areas, but now you can't hardly miss this anytime you are there. Somebody must need money!
It is also interesting to see the planning department more actively looking for sign violations around town versus a few years ago. They used to call and let you know if there was a violation so it could be corrected, but now subjects receive a letter immediately stating fines if any violation occurs for a long period of time. Somebody must need money!
These laws/statutes/ordinances are perfectly fine with me, but you either do it or not. You can't pick and choose when to enforce these ordinances or where and what time. I guess it's not worth worrying about when there is $1.5 billion in real estate sales and all the trickle down to the community.
On my ride home today, I saw nine dead raccoons, two dead deer, three dead skunks, a dead rabbit and a cat, some of which have been there for many days. I've never seen this left around for so long before. What a pleasant site this must be for tourists coming to visit. Somebody needs to spend a little money!
