I have experience with a big developer-investor in smalltown America.
I live in a town with living, present day, factual prove that developers do not tell the truth and will do anything to get town and citizens' approval for their development.
I live in a town where our town council and the developer signed a contract, and my town council refuses to enforce it on the big developer.
I live in a town where the citizens come a distant second to not upsetting the developer.
I live in a town where commitment and morals and ethics do not exist on town council or with the developer.
The town is Minturn, and the developer-investor is Dean Adler.
In truth we have had two developers spin the same pack of mistruths, Ginn and now Crave, with the same investor-owner, Dean Adler.
I hear all the same propaganda from RED that came out of Ginn, Crave and Dean Adler's mouth years ago. Millions of dollars for the citizens. Everything smells like roses. Where is the manure smell that it takes to grow those roses?
Look at Minturn now. Remember it was Ginnturn. It is now more expensive to live in Minturn and the citizens have not received one penny from Dean Adler, years after the vote.
My Web site www.minturntimes.com has facts on all of the broken promises and the Minturn council's inactions to improve Minturn.
Read the fine print of where that $17 million is supposed to go and when. The devil is in the details.
For those of you who vote “yes,” make sure you hold the developer and your town officials accountable for the promises they made before the vote. That is the best advice I can give you. Hold them accountable.
In Minturn's case, the day of the vote everything was rosy. Then, the very next day after the “yes” vote, Dean Adler refused to pay us and the developers mistruths were exposed. Now we smell the manure.
It seems that I had been telling the truth all along.
Makes me wonder who was paid behind the scenes.
So there you go, my experienced 2 cents, or to be more precise, my $180 million worth of a developer's mistruths of experience.
This might of been the shortest letter I ever wrote.
Good luck Eagle citizens.
