‘The curtain’ gets pulled back. 'Is Mr. Lizard really that powerful?'

Dear Editor: Well, at the Oct. 20 Chaffee County commissioners meeting in Buena Vista, Meadows Creek Music Community Fund finally pulled back the curtain. During their presentation to the commissioners, they presented many “facts,” including their own “unbiased” sound report that they paid for. It sounded so wonderful, despite the fact that the county received higher than ever noise complaints, so many that their reporting system crashed. They hide behind their “nonprofit” status. They actually announced during this presentation that if they couldn’t have a reduced sheriff’s deputy presence on site, then they would cancel future concerts. They implied that if they couldn’t play their music until 3 a.m., if they couldn’t play it louder, if they couldn’t increase their attendance limits, then it just wouldn’t be economically viable (profitable) to continue having concerts at The Meadows. Remember their “nonprofit” status?
