Every week, I read the Ketchum Sun, and the assertions are so shocking as to be almost unbelievable. I have stated in previous comments that I would like to see the City respond to these assertions in writing. That finally happened last week when city council member Spencer Cordovano posted written comments on this blog. Those comments put me in even greater disbelief as to the professionalism with which the city is being run. I don't live in the city limits anymore. If I did, I would be asking City Hall to respond in writing to all of this. What is stopping them? And if you are a citizen of Ketchum, what is stopping you from asking for a written explanation? Maybe you need a petition of some sort? If the city will not respond, maybe this needs judicial review at this point? This is a lot of money, and it is a lot of decision-making under authority (that has been called into question) without a written comprehensive response.
One might also thing the newspaper would look into my assertions to say I’m wrong. Or, if I’m not wrong, maybe they could do some journalism.
The City baffles me. I cannot for the life of me understand why the City won’t take legal action on behalf of the citizenry with the USPS for example. What do they have to lose? Even if they get no resolution at least they will have tried.
Next week, if nothing more interesting comes up, I will talk about how some of this happens through the bad process of how the biweekly agenda of the City Council agenda is set.
I also plan to follow the budgeting process closely because I cannot see how it is linked to achieving the Comprehensive Plan. Like KURA it seems the Council just tries to spend as much as they legally can. I need to check but I think this administration has raised taxes as much as they are allowed to by statute every year (absent a referendum).
Is a recall on one or more of the three folks supporting Kura feasible? Regardless, we need to flush out the facts to the voting base of Ketchum so they can make informed deisions.

I wish I were wrong. I truly do.

How is the " process " halted or slowed .
I wish I knew. KURA and the Council have been deaf to the pleas of the business community.
