Welcome to Valley Roundup, a review of the top news stories in the valley in the past week.
This week - Development is booming up and down the valley. A new hot springs in Glenwood Springs, a new hotel in Basalt and a big new bus depot in Aspen are just some of the upcoming projects.
There is a demonstrated need for more psychiatric care in the Valley. Officials say too many drunks and people with mental health problems wind up in jail or the ER.
Also this week newspaper endorsements and their effect on voters.
And, remembering Willard Clapper.
Joining us this week are Carolyn Sackariason, Editor of the Aspen Daily News, Randy Essex, Editor of the Glenwood Post Independent, Andy Stone, former editor of and now columnist for the Aspen Times and Michael Miracle, Editor of Aspen Sojourner Magazine.
