Why I Resigned as Mayor of Alpine
C D McCollister reflects on Alpine politics from 1965 1967 detailing battles with the so called Power Structure led by Corkins and supporters. He cites water rights Sunny Glen Dam engineers street paving and police reforms as pivotal issues. He argues a weak mayor council blocks progress and urges voters to elect him with a working majority to break the control.
