According to 9News and the Denver Post there were several Northern Colorado leaders at the taxpayer "vacation" or "business meeting" last week in Vail. The 87th annual Colorado Municipal League Conference was attended by the Evans city manager (I believe it's Earl Smith). Also in attendance was Sam Mamet, a city council member from Lafayette (and an officer of the League). The Ft. Collins mayor, a city council member (not named), and nine (yes, nine) city staffers from the city attorney's office attended as well! Sam suspects there were more people there from Northern Colorado, and encourages all outraged taxpayers to call your local city or town manager to find out who attended, what the costs were, and where the money came from.
