Correction: The April 16 article “Carbondale Report: Trustees streamline process and expand eligibility for ADUs” has been updated online to clarify that the amended town code does not permit ADUs in River Valley Ranch, Hendrick Ranch and Roaring Fork Village, as mistakenly stated. Zoning restrictions in these neighborhoods must be amended to permit ADUs.

Grace and mercy have grown scarce in the West these days. Government law-fare is nothing new in Aspen. When billionaire patriarch Lester Crown admitted to bribing public officials, the government granted him immunity.
The “Sandwich Board” lady — the one the same billionaires banned twice — is right about the embattled tree dweller: The Crowns should do the right thing for the community and make us smile, just as Aspen wisely stood down during the recent art sign debacle.

Hold Trump accountable
I am horrified at what we are doing to the historic Persian Empire. Randomly blowing up a 2,500-year-old civilization. The very seat of civilization and its precious antiquities. Trump’s fever dream, one-man war is the most irresponsible action to come out of America.
Since this utterly horrendous act was committed by one man, I believe that Trump and his cabinet should pay for it; every penny of the cost of mobilizing the Navy, Air force and Army in the wild race to the other side of the world. Then Trump and his cabinet should pay for the reconstruction of the Iranian society, until Iran is whole again. And then Trump must be held responsible for the death of every Iranian killed by our armed forces.
