Some of us mountaineers just like to rough it. So, the Blue River mayor quit, not just when it was clear that her camp would lose the vote on paving, but also after she’d received some threats from neighbors who, well, like things just the way they are. Then, within a couple of weeks from her resignation, she and her group withdrew the initiative. Reasoning was that the quoted costs were too high. Actually, stated too high. She felt bids received were much higher than the work could actually be done for, so rather than sustain a defeat, she and her group, uh, re-grouped. Presumably, they will come back with lower bids and try again.
Meanwhile, somewhere around half the residents of the Town of Blue River has spoken. They would rather have dirt roads with potholes than any semblance of civilization.
