Valley Roundup - February 6th, 2015

Welcome to Valley Roundup, a review of the top news stories in the Roaring Fork Valley in the past week.

An infamous celebrity athlete attempted in vain to keep his name out of national headlines. But an incident in an Aspen neighborhood prevented that from happening.

And, a third party has entered the fray of finding a new superintendent for the Roaring Fork School District.

Will voters in Aspen be asked to redirect a real estate transfer tax to fund health and human services?

The local bus agency is drawing ire from officials and residents in Garfield County.

How long will it take to overhaul the Pitkin County Library and Galena Plaza and at what cost?

The city of Aspen is looking internally at its finances and how they are tracked after an $800,000 boondoggle.

Joining me this week are Curtis Wackerle, Managing Editor of the Aspen Daily News, Randy Essex, Editor of the Glenwood Post Independent, Michael Miracle, the editor of Sojourner magazine and Andy Stone, former editor and columnist of the Aspen Times.
