Mick's statement and belief that Aspen government "should not be run like a business" is probably a good explanation as to how we end up with fiascos like Burlingame and the (yet again) under-estimated costs of the new government space (currently percolating in city hall).
I'd like to suggest that we would all benefit from more professional (yes, business) management skills in our city government. We appear to think that Aspen should be run like small town yesteryear even though it has grown into a large size community. If our mayor is not ready for for this concept it might be time for him to move out of the way.
