Welcome to Valley Roundup, a review of the top news stories in the valley in the past week.
Finding an affordable place to live is not just an Aspen thing. The Roaring Fork School District and Carbondale are working together on something similar for teachers.
Colorado’s U.S. Senator Michael Bennet plans to reintroduce a bill to keep future drilling out of the Thompson Divide. But, does it have a chance in the Republican controlled Congress in Washington?
Aspen Valley Hospital and its Non Profit partner have worked out their differences. But, is that the end?
It’s been a big week for air traffic at the Airport as the new director is having conversations with the FAA about congestion.
Also, what was the under-reported story of the year, the big stories of 2014, and what should we keep an eye on in 2015?
This week I’m joined by Carolyn Sackariason, Editor of the Aspen Daily News, Randy Essex, Editor of the Glenwood Post Independent, Brent Gardener-Smith of Aspen Journalism and Michael Miracle – the editor of Aspen Sojourner magazine.
