Young gets it

Dear Editor:

I have known John Young more than 20 years and am enthusiastically supporting him. His background as a senior official in both Snowmass Village and the Canyons resorts has honed his tourist skills to a fine level.

On the heels of the economic downturn, it will be a great asset to have a county commissioner with his business background. He truly gets it that we sell our environment to our tourists, and his strong stance against natural-gas drilling will be appreciated by not only us as residents, but by our guests as well.
