Of all the bloggers on Aspen Post, no one took better advantage of the soapbox in the public square than Michael Brylawski, a former management consultant who never hesitated to cut to the chase. “Our long-term drug fatality rate [in Pitkin County] is higher than 29 of 32 major cities according to US Department of Health and Human Services….” blogs Brylawski. “We have a serious public safety issue with drunk driving and hard drugs. Our fatality rates for DUI deaths are 3x the state average, and our hard drug death rate is 2x Denver, 3x Miami and Washington, and would rank us 29th among 32 major cities in the US.”
