From the information i gathered the funding currently in place was to stay until 2014, and on top of that the ski area is ultimately responsible for any funding shortfall. So have we just been tricked into paying for it with taxation rather than letting a business carry the burden it agreed to in the first place? I think we have. And yes there is some guarantees in life death and taxes right? More seats does not equal more people. Weren't we having a hard time filling the seats we previously offered? Doesn't anyone see that the ski area dumped tons of money into this campaign to fleece the city of Steamboat?
Ask the folks down in Idaho Springs about mt lions around their schools. They will get habituated to people if they feel they are not a threat, and eventually will attack something smaller, you know, like a child. Hunt it and kill it i say. It's not like Mt Lions are on the endangered species list. We are the masters of our domain, don't be passive until someone gets mauled to death.
VOTE NO ON 2B!!! It is impossible to believe this increase will only last 5 years. No accounting information on how this money is spent. Place this burden on the ski area and the tourism industry in the form of bed tax raises not the general public and every single thing that they purchase in city limits. How ridiculous is it that we ALREADY pay 8.4% sales tax (in total) and how someone can stand behind raising that.
AWESOME!!! So glad to hear it went well. What a great set of trails to have a nice long mtn bike race. A true cross country mtn bike race, not a short track that you do loops over and over and over. Congrats Honey Stinger, Nice work Bird!!
Trying to defend one biker that i don't know, would be like defending a automobile driver that i don't know. It just does not make sense. There are bad bikers just like there are bad drivers......you know, the really obnoxious drivers that have trucks that they never take off road and only get the biggest one they can to try and make up for inadequacies in their uhhhum "personal lives". You know, the drivers that can't seem to fit their big ole trucks into that tiny little parking spot. Biking consumes less and has health benefits at least. As far as the medical marijuana? Put it to a vote! Now put down the pipe and go be productive- or at least go for a bike ride.
Savvy campaign allows Referendum 2B to defy anti-tax logic
