Judge me on my track record

Published on Tue, 12/10/2019 - 4:52pm

Editor:

I’m writing in response to a letter last week that called into question my preparation to serve on the City Commission based on my performance at a pre-election candidate forum sponsored by AAUW.  To be fair to the writer, I agree with his unfavorable assessment of my performance that evening and wanted to offer some perspective.   

Letter writer, did you talk to Mel Friedman?

Editor:

I am writing with a question for Mr. Robert Montoya, who wrote the vituperative letter about our Commissioner Mr. Mel Friedman. Did you talk with Mr. Friedman about your concerns? I have had numerous occasions over the years to communicate with Mr. Friedman, and I would like to assure Mr. Montoya that he will never find a better listener, a better or more kindly person than Mel Friedman to serve our community. It would have been a kindness on his part to call Mel Friedman and voice his concern, rather than writing such a letter.  

Thank you for uplifting story

Thank you for posting Nate Howard’s beautiful story about Anna Patterson on the front page of Wednesday’s Enterprise. In these times of uncertainty, it is wonderful to read something uplifting. It helped to remind me that our nation and the world have been through lots of rough periods before, but the good in most people still continues to rise above the sadness and uncertainty. 

Thank you, Ms. Patterson, for your gifts of hats and scarves that continue to keep some children warm.

Disappointed Friedman was reelected

I understand the re-election of Ms. Nootz — she is very articulate and has great passion for the office as well as many intelligent ideas. Even though she is not from this area, and I didn’t vote for her, I believe she makes the effort to understand and represent her constituents.

Devastated by dog being injured

Published on Fri, 12/06/2019 - 5:00pm

Editor:

Last night I heard an agonizing scream that came from outside my house. It was 8:15 p.m. and at first I thought it could be a child. It was a lingering, painful sound. I opened my front door and realized a dog had been hit in the street, and I saw the car driving away from Comet Boulevard and turning up Nova Street. The car must have turned around because I could see their headlights. They saw me on my deck. I rushed in the house to grab a coat and a flashlight so I could find the injured dog. 

Thanks, firefighters

Park County voters should decide on zoning

Published on Wed, 11/27/2019 - 2:04pm

Editor:

Balancing the rights of the individual within the context of a broader community is extremely difficult. From what I gathered in reading a couple recent articles in the Enterprise, it appears there’s an established need for the County to pursue zoning. There was no mention of any empirical data supporting this need but rather anecdotal references relayed by several folks. Hopefully there’s some substance somewhere because anecdotal input doesn’t really amount to anything more than some sort of informal back of the envelope tally.
