MALKAN'S PAST EFFORTS MAKE HIM AN IDEAL CANDIDATE

If it wasn't for Summit County Commissioner candidate Doug Malkan's
political activism, the Frisco peninsula would already be misused.

For years there's been developments in Summit County creating and
preserving open space lands. It compromises work and credibility of
open space lands if we then take land designated for parks and
recreation and turn it into commercial usage. It's surprising
politicians again try developing the peninsula. The peninsula
location is controversial, like no other. We're not losing CMC, it is
going to be built somewhere; just not where it doesn't belong.

The effort to build an incinerator in Frisco is also backward
thinking and Malkan will help guide that plan's end as well. Large
scale wood burning including two tall smokestacks isn't
environmentally friendly and might have a place near industrial
zones, yet seems obviously out of place next to hospitals or mountain
towns desiring clean air.

Another indicator of a candidate in touch with reality is one
supporting Amendment 44, legalizing small amounts of cannabis for
adults. It's unacceptable caging humans for using the God-given plant
cannabis. Malkan not only supports Amendment 44, but helped put it on
the ballot.

Summit County will benefit with Malkan's past experience as a
newspaper owner, publisher and editor along with being a Certified
Public Accountant. Malkan doesn't have questionable conflicts of
interest and as a Green Party candidate would add balance to local government.

These are important reasons to vote for Malkan and we'll need him
when more develop in the future.
