So Aspen merchants and hoteliers are latching onto Aspen Square Condominium Hotel General Manager Warren Klug’s idea to add another onerous tax to support his business and others in Aspen. That is what “Retailers: marketing funds must be increased” (July 24) finally tells us after you previously reported what he said at the earlier meeting, and now the socialist capitalist chorus sang at the recent meeting at his establishment.

All Aspenites can please Mr. Klug and the rich socialistic Aspen business simply by raising the lodging taxes on his guests and other lodging industry guests, since it’s those money pockets they want to reach into to grab the cash money to pay their foreign workers in U.S. dollars.

As for re-inventing Aspen, how many Aspen business executives are handing in their resignation letters to please ACRA President Hana Pevny?
