Unfundable fantasy. Stop the Epic and Ikon malling of Aspen.<\/p>\n
Send this defamation of Aspen’s character back to a new Aspen City Council negotiation with Torre as the mayor, Bert and Rachel on council.<\/p>\n
Create a new reality: Aspen voters don’t need or want two huge cruise ships on Aspen Street in order to have a safe ski lift.<\/p>\n
The impacts will detonate the carrying capacity and infrastructure of this neighborhood and our community.<\/p>\n
Don’t allow the extortion of city taxpayers by the Aspen Skiing Co., Gorsuch\/Loews and Brown brothers for cash, variances, parking, gridlock, negative affordable-housing mitigation.<\/p>\n
Require a huge completion bond\/earnest money from all profiteers to guarantee COO fulfillment date.<\/p>\n
Ruthie’s restaurant will be a Cloud 9 cash cow when the lift is revamped; make the Skico stand up and pay their share or eliminate nighttime party\/wedding and dinner\/disco service from the new deal!<\/p>\n
Skico will cash in forever in dozens of selfish ploys.<\/p>\n
Skico can afford\/absorb the costs being robbed from taxpayers for housing, infrastructure, park access and code required exactions\/incentives.<\/p>\n
Act like the big shots you want to be and pay it forward to sustain our historic ski town’s character and make this project perfect, not just good enough.<\/p>\n
Generosity is the first step to prosperity!<\/p>\n
Vote “no” on giving development permits for an unfunded fantasy that will be the next Michael Fox\/Aspen Club bust.<\/p>\n
Vote “yes” backing individual\/neighborhood integrity versus corporate greed\/Skico industrial tourism.<\/p>\n
