Roger:
I fail to see how posting up some pictures on your Chamachoochoo site was of much help to the GLRR but if you need a pat on the back, then good for you. My record here on the NGDF and with follow-up to those in power in the state government is clear.
Unfortunately for the GLRR the people whose voices really would have carried some weight i.e. the merchants and politicians in Georgetown and Silver Plume, chose to remain silent on this matter. Roger, show me any letters to the editor by any merchant, business association or chamber of commerce in support of the GLRR at any time in the past 3 years. Show me a resolution by the board of selectman or any elected politician in support of the former operator, GLRR during the past 3 years. Their silence and lack of public support for the Ashby’s and Greksa’s speaks volumes on this whole fiasco.
And what is your point, because someone is new to Georgetown that we should wipe the slate clean and now play nice with the CHS? The same old (and I do mean old) people in the CHS and in the merchant association are still running the show. If all the new merchants and residents want to help then they first need to do some fact finding and get some answers to why their fellow citizens and merchants are continuing to allow the CHS to run the Loop into the ground.
Roger, when you, the merchants and/or citizens get those answers I will be happy to see the result of this investigation. Until then I will continue to advise my family, friends and any one else I come into contact with to not spend their hard earned vacation dollars in Georgetown or Silver Plume. Yes I am picking on them because not only are their towns not "innocent" they are fully culpable in the demise of the railroad and their own economic downfall because of it. As the old saying goes, they made their bed with the CHS and now they can sleep in it with them.
