  1. Why do you think Spirit Mt lost the best managers of that asset? The City always tries to protect us–the citizens that pay for all this–from the unvarnished truth. We cannot handle the truth. We cannot handle transparency, we cannot handle fairness, we cannot handle equity. The Mayor via JFW needs to modify it all so it is distilled down to our level or better yet distilled down to the predetermined outcome.

    Think Lester Golf Course isn’t even going to be a park because of the predetermined outcome. It just takes a while.

    Let me be clear, the citizens can handle the truth. What we cannot handle is a strong mayor governance that continues to treat us like mushrooms. Come on Mayor, stand up, release the report before you distill it down via your administration. We all can handle the information. Maybe the mayor can not handle questions and pushback.

    We lost some great management of Spirit Mt because I believe the City with its strong mayor system, be it this one, a past one or the future ones, want to control the asset and this is why it is a mess in the first place. A strong mayor governance has gone on long enough. When will the citizens rise up and demand more representation from our councilors? Our councilors have next to zero power. Strong mayor governance has seen its days. It’s time to bury it along with the distilled report about to come out god knows when.

  2. Someone should advise Aaron what is “technically” public information. The report is not exempt from disclosure.

  3. That’s right. All versions of the publicly-paid-for report, from rough drafts to finished product, are public information. Stolp doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The city administration told him something, and he just accepted it.
