Mount Evans Renaming Informal Poll

[Flips]

Any historical reason why Mount was proposed?

Here's a nerdy explanation. Unfortunately, many of the links are broken.

I’ve seen that guideline and understand. However, I think one can look at a lot of names and see where that was not followed. Prime example is Pikes. Mount Pikes does not have the alliteration pizzaz that Pikes Peak does and my guess is that was the or part of the “historical” reason it was chosen.

Mount Blue Sky is ok.
personally, i prefer Mount Blutarsky.
no one could possibly have a problem naming a mountain after this guy:

so, is Mount Will Smith off the table now?

Not at all - it could be named the ever popular "Bald Mountain". (hey-o!!!) (please don't slap me)

This work would be farmed out. I know a sign company that does a lot of this work for Counties and the State.

It’s amazing to me how people think the government has this unending supply of cash and resources. With seemingly no understanding of where these dollars come from, the number of programs we expect the government to manage, and if that budget is in surplus or in a deficit.

One counterintuitive thing: government deficits grow the economy, surpluses shrink it. Think about it. When the govt spends money, it is effectively an investment in its people. Certain types of spending give huge returns bc they improve society and grow the economy (education, scientific research), which increases tax revenue. Almost any spending will be beneficial (perhaps creating a few jobs at a sign company). If the government is running a surplus, that means they are taking more in taxes than they are investing back into the economy, which isn't beneficial at all. Deficit spending is fine as long as the investment will return more than is put in, which is a very safe bet in a nation like the us. Govt surplus is basically money sitting around doing nothing, which is why it should be avoided. Deficit spending is a great way to influence the market to do something actually socially beneficial, which is why every single nation on the planet does it.

No they do it because its easy. If we as individual people, could get away with spending more money then we make, with no consequences, we would all do it too. I'd love to buy a million dollar mountain house if I didn't have to actually pay for it.

bump for the big hearing going on today.


i stand by the name change people on this one. and the gore reboot too.


but here's a thought - will the board decide today that a name change is warranted - but then not actually official change the name today?


because in that case - if I get up there this weekend as planned - I will at that moment be climbing a mountain with no name!

that's pretty sick.


also - maybe this one is too big for the honor - but i do feel we should have a mount elway in this state. I mean come on.
