The forum was an important educational and informational opportunity. We learned that all candidates want a new playground and that each values our outdoor resources. We all want increased economic opportunities that do not disrupt our small-town atmosphere. However, candidates have different points of view about how best to accomplish the revitalization Dolores needs.<\/p>\n
I believe when people with different ideas come together to work toward common goals, the results are better, wiser and stronger than if a few push their own agendas. A many-fibered rope is stronger than a single strand.<\/p>\n
I encourage residents to reach out to candidates you don\u2019t know. Take time to really listen. What if Dolores not only had an interage playground, but a track, community garden, affordable tiny houses, apple orchard, skate park, a new concession stand and organic parks? What if we were an International Dark Sky community? What if we regularly showcased our talented local residents: musicians, artists, chefs, athletes and scholars?<\/p>\n
There are so many ways we could be \u201cDestination Dolores\u201d instead of \u201cDrive Through Dolores \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Please vote. All voices are essential for democracy to work.<\/p>\n
