From the President Feb 29, 2016 — 3 Comments

  1. Dear Larry,
    You have been a wonderful support for the community and a great leader for INC.

    For example, in our neighborhood alone, your leadership at INC helped save our neighborhood from a polluting, potentially very dangerous experimental, prototype incinerator that the misguided Denver Zoo tried to install so that it could, it seems , go into the incinerator selling business.

    Your personal encouragement to a small group of engaged citizens, helped the Denver Zoo to comply with the USDA’s Animal Welfare Act and feed animals potable water instead of controversial recycled water. I am sure that the elephants and other animals thank you as well.

    Recently, you took the lead with INC to ask the city to slow down and go back to the drawing board, with citizen input, to find solutions to the storm water run off problems that will affect I 70, the Western Stock show and the new Enterprise Zone from downtown to DIA. If the city proceeds on the course that it is now advocating, it will have a massive negative impact City Park Golf Course that is on the National Register of Historic Places, and our neighbors who live in the historic Cole Neighborhood. The disruptive storm water plans that the city is proposing will do nothing to little to alleviate chronic flooding in established neighborhoods.

    Larry, you have made a huge difference in INC’s role as community advocate , not just as a rubber stamp for the city administration. We have enough of those. Being an advocate can sometimes cause controversy and make some people uncomfortable when they have to stand up and question authority. Under your leadership, INC has done a fine job as a true community advocate while maintaining a respectful, dignified, businesslike relationship with all parties.

    I look forward to working with you as INC’s president over the next two years as you continue to lead INC to improve, protect and enhance the lives of neighbors and as you help INC to shape a city government that is more responsive to the needs and opinions of citizens and neighborhoods.

    Thank you for your selfless, intelligent leadership. When do you find time to sleep?
    Bridget Walsh

  2. Thank you for your continued efforts but I am pleased to see your planned retirement. The world and needs are changing beyond local desires/concerns to global impact. best
