There is a lot of good discussion here, and I hope that if it comes to a vote this kind of information is disseminated in the community and people will take the time to be educated. This is my greatest concern about having this go to a vote - the few people that I have talked to that oppose SB 700, do so because they feel that No Steamboat 700 = No Growth, or that somehow Steamboat 700 will cause an explosion in growth (build it and they will come). That is so wrong at many levels. If people are not educated about the issues surrounding the WSSAP and 700, they are likely to throw out years of planning by people that are educated on the issues and have been thinking forward 20 years or more. My second concern is that SB 700 will impact me and those that live near me far more than most people in town, and we will not have a say in any vote because we are outside of the city limits.
