No one else I know is as talented, qualified, articulate, and as good of a professionally trained listener with such good humor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Basalt is at a turning point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With the long drawn-out process of the Pan &amp; Fork redevelopment plan finally resolved, the town has the opportunity to transform itself into the charming, dynamic historic two-river mountain town it has always had the potential and desire to become.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Redevelopment of the old Clark\u2019s Market site and the Roaring Fork Mobile Home Park in the heart of Old Town Basalt are integral properties tied to this rebirth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">However, to succeed we must be united in our vision for the town\u2019s planning direction and the build-out implementation of these areas, instead of the community paralysis we\u2019ve experienced for over 10 years. This is the next critical step forward if Old Town Basalt is to flourish and regain a foothold in commerce and vitality as a co-equal \u201cold town\/historic\u201d partner to \u201cthe new\u201d flourishing Willits Town Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Through personal charm, wit and intelligence, Bill brings people together. He has an unmatched professional and personal network of public, private and non-profit leadership resources around the state from which to draw upon and he has the temperament and leadership skills to develop the collaborative approach that we need to lead the town forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Please vote for Bill Kane for mayor of Basalt on Tuesday, April 7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Letter Name\">Tim Estin<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Letter Title\">Aspen<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/opinion\/letters-to-the-editor\/kane-an-experienced-collaborator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a time of crisis, in calmer times too, I cannot think of any other individual so perfectly timed and attuned to be our next mayor of Basalt than Bill Kane.
