Your work is amazing and an incredibly valuable contribution to the entire Wood River Valley.
The upcoming election is a huge opportunity, especially since Bradshaw is not running for reelection. Plus, it’s do or die.
Is there any way to start putting together a “slate” or “party” now, with “Save Ketchum” (something better) branding built on your work to support a team of compelling candidates?
I am afraid waiting for people to come out of the woodwork individually in September won’t be enough. More of an orchestrated effort with dynamic/ consistent messaging might help?
I’d love to be part of a working group on that if there is interest.
Hi Christian....feel free to reach out to Ketchum Business Advisory Coalition (KBAC) at info@ketchumbusiness.org, and we can update you on a few things our group has been working on related to election season. Thank you!
Perry, I don' know how to get in touch with you other than this.
I am reviewing the draft Ketchum Fire District budget. CoK was putting about $850,000 in property taxes towards the fire budget. The proposed budget wants $3,465,068 from property taxes now. A 4X increase. Ouch
Yes. This is a total scam. To get an incremental $850k in cash to play with that would have otherwise gone to the fire department, the ijits on the council have created this massive tax burden for locals because the new district can’t use LOT to pay for it. This is a massive dereliction their fiduciary duty. They will do almost anything to squeeze another dollar out of us for their bizarre housing program that won’t house…get this..firefighters! You can’t make this stuff up.
Now it's to late even for a lawsuit to get a hold on all of these actions. So, wait until November when all of these, and more, actions will be in place. We get what we deserve.
Well said and I hope people are listening...
