I am writing to urge the voters in the town of Basalt to vote for Bill Kane for mayor. If he is elected, we will have Bill Kane\u2019s leadership, expertise and positive energies as mayor and Bill Infante will remain a proactive member of the Town Council.<\/p>\n

Based on Bill Kane\u2019s incredible career, we can anticipate that he will be a great communicator who will help bring the community together. He will focus on quality of life and will not be an advocate for growth per se. His entire career has been involved with high quality, environmentally sensitivity community developments. As a partner with Design Workshop Inc, a nationally respected planning and landscape architecture firm, Bill led many impressive assignments in planning and design. As the chief planner with Pitkin County early in his career, Bill gained substantial experience in policy formulation as well as specific skills in land-use regulation. As a vice president and chief planner for Aspen Skiing Co. for 10 years, Bill was instrumental in creating many high-quality complex developments. Remarkably, Bill also served as the Basalt Town Manager for 3 1\/2 years during 2009 to 2012. Bill will enhance our quality of life by working with the council and others to improve Old Town and Willits and will not support growth just to make Basalt bigger.<\/p>\n

We also are fortunate to have Bill Infante as a current member of the Town Council, where he will remain if Bill Kane is elected mayor. Bill has an impressive background in senior positions with the U.S. government \u2014 particularly in the area of economic development. We can look forward to his continuing contributions and ideas as a council member.<\/p>\n

Ben Franklin was known for his effective decisions by making a list of \u201cpros\u201d and \u201ccons.\u201d In this case, one important \u201cpro\u201d of electing Bill Kane as mayor \u2014 the town will enjoy the benefits of \u201cTwo Bills With Your One Vote\u201d \u2014 will keep Bill Infante as well. The significant \u201ccon\u201d could leave the town without the many skills and leadership of Bill Kane. So, what would Ben Franklin do?<\/p>\n
