DONE WITH "POT-HEAD" BRECK

I found it interesting that the issues highlighted in two articles
recently have direct bearing on each other, but it appears Breck town
council is clueless about the connection. One article discusses a need
for a tax hike for marketing. The Oct. 21 editorial supports
legalizing marijuana. So, you want the "family friendly resort of
Breckenridge" to legalize pot. Do you think we are bringing our kids
to Breckenridge if it is going to attract a bunch of potheads on skis?
And you want to increase marketing through taxes . but it will REALLY
be an uphill battle when people like us - families with money to spend
who would normally go to Breck - go elsewhere. And, buy a house or
condo in Breck? No thanks - we can buy elsewhere. Tax residents to the
poorhouse to support marketing for a group that drives out tourists
with a "pot-head" reputation! Good thinking. And goodbye from us .
we'll be skiing elsewhere.
