Leadership at Estes Park

Yup. It's official. Marilyn Musgrave has blown itin Estes Park. The Estes Park Trail Gazette on Angie Paccione:

“The people of the 4th CD cannot endure another term of Marilyn Musgrave,” said Paccione when she announced her candidacy in 2005. “She has grown too close to the special interests in Washington, leaving her out of touch with the people here at home.”

The Fort Collins democrat pointed to Musgrave’s lack of action on designating Rocky Mountain National Park a wilderness area as a perfect example of not acting on behalf of those who sent her to Washington.

“What is she waiting for?” said Paccionne. “Why does she oppose wilderness designation? Everyone else is on board, but apparently Marilyn has missed the train.”

Paccione noted that the Estes Park Mayor and Town Board, July of 2005, voiced their public approval of the wilderness designation. The Park already has been managed as wilderness for decades and draws approximately three million visitors each year.

“Why won’t she listen to the local governments in her district or support the local economy?” Paccione asked. “She’s out of touch with the citizens of Estes Park, and out of touch with all Coloradans, who consider Rocky Mountain National Park a state and national treasure.”
