Susan Webel of Longmont


Susan Webel wants a trail around the east side of Baseline Lake, despite overwhelming scientific evidence that building the trail on the east side will hurt the bald eagles nesting on the east side. They will stop nesting there, which means fewer eagles. This is a fact that she either conveniently ignores, or more likely, will dig up false scientific evidence to dispute. Don't trust Susan Webel, in fact, Paul Danish wrote an excellent column for the paper some years ago explaining how she lied in testimony to the county commissioners.

Also be aware of BATCO, a self perpetuating organization, that probably is not a real organization, in the sense that it does not have an active membership, collect dues, file taxes, hold Board elections, or do things that a normal organization would do. There are probably not more than 12 active members. If your interested in hiking and the environment, join the Colorado Mountain Club, a real organization, that covers the entire state, with local chapters. They put on climbs and hikes, and have sound policies on the interaction between recreation and the environment.

Oh and Webel lives in Longmont. Why don't you clean up your own crappy community rather than tell us in Boulder what do to? Oh, that's because Longmont has no open space. Don't listen to Webel on Boulder policy.
