Aspen Sheriff Candidate Greens His Campaign

This is not a business article, but I thought it would be a valuable article to post nonetheless. Rick Magnuson, a candidate for sheriff of Aspen, Colorado, wants to phase out the current sheriff's department vehicles and replace them with hybrid and bio-diesel models; buy wind farm credits; and build partnerships with local organizations to make the department more eco-friendly.

Magnuson says that the vehicles can be paid for with a combination of fuel savings and sponsorships. These initiatives come second to public safety, of course, but it's good to see such things potentially making their way into public policy.

You can read about Rick Magnuson and his green initiatives here, from an article in the Aspen Daily News.
