Paul Danish for Boulder County Commissioner – When it comes to sustainability, roads are more important than compost

“Sustainability” is one of those words that can mean all things to all people. The current Commissioners define it in terms of programs like recycling, composting, energy conservation, bus shelters and bike lanes (all of which currently receive County funding). While widely popular, their contribution to sustaining Boulder County’s quality of life and economic health occurs only at the margin.

I’d argue that the single most important thing County government can do to sustain Boulder County’s quality of life is maintain a road network that is adequate to meet the needs of its exploding number of residents and the traffic they generate — and do it in a way that doesn’t require the County to pave over paradise.

While Danish has name recognition I’m skeptical that BoCo residents as a whole believe in his vision. I hope I’m wrong. The other problem is he’s an evil REPUBLICAN.
