McPhee: What city needs, and doesn’t need

After reading the newspaper article about how Bill Guth broke city rules by converting a duplex into a single-family home, then marketing and selling it as such, it’s pretty obvious he should not get a seat on the Aspen City Council.

Guth seems typical of a lot of people who have shown up here in the last 10 years or so who see Aspen as a commodity — a place to make a lot of money, quickly.

Please use your two council votes for Skippy and Sam Rose. And vote for Torre. We don’t need a real estate/short-term rental agent as Aspen’s next mayor.
