What a successful new curriculum ! Well , not so tight . Deer Trail has n’t even passed the ordination for the drone pipe hunt licenses project earlier in the summer , so they do n’t actually have anything to give the hunter hopefuls who post checks for the $ 25 permit fee . Deer Trail ’s township clerk Kim Oldfieldtold The Denver Post this weekthat she turn back counting the incoming applications for the non - existent permission two weeks ago , after she ’d get 983 check-out procedure worth some $ 19,000 . Now , she ’s just throwing the letters into a passel .
It ’s unclear what happens from here . The last vote on the ordination was a 3 - to-3 tie-in , and the touchstone will now go to voters . Even if the voters do give it the greenlight , the droning permit is potentially illegal , since it ’s against the law to destroy federal property . This is all assuming that Phil Steel , the Ithiel Town house physician who proposed the ordinance , was actually serious about this from the starting time . In interviews with the local intelligence , Steel admitted that he ’d never envision a drone flying over the town andcalled the measure “ a very symbolical regulation . ”
For Steel , it ’s also a very profitable ordinance . After get ahead national medium exposure when present the ordinance , Steel start sell relic drone hunt license and has so far pocketed at least $ 2,500 , part of which he donate to the townsfolk . I think the rest is going to go towards ammo to shoot down the non - existent drones over Deer Trail . Because this is America . [ Denver PostviaTechEye ]
