Pitkin County voters are casting their ballots and deciding on two ballot questions related to the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport’s runway on Nov. 5.

Ballot question 200 asks Pitkin County voters to change the Home Rule Charter and strip county commissioners of their sole authority to expand or relocate the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport’s runway. But ballot question 1C, also on the 2024 ballot, reaffirms the Pitkin County commissioners’ ability to approve and implement a new runway layout. Aspen Daily News and Aspen Public Radio reporter Josie Taris explains the different consequences of these contradictory measures.
  • On today’s newscast: Last month, the U.S. Forest Service announced it would not be hiring any new seasonal workers — outside of firefighters — for fiscal year 2025 due to a budget shortfall; tonight is opening night for the Aspen Community Theatre’s annual fall performance; and a state employee responsible for posting passwords for Colorado's election equipment online has been fired. Tune in for these stories and more.
