Basalt’s elected officials say the door remains open for a policy discussion with U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert but she has not come knocking in the five months since the invitation was extended.
Boebert’s office said the Congresswoman was busy assembling her staff and settling into her new role when first contacted by Basalt in January. While a meeting wasn’t arranged due to lack of follow-up by both sides, she would consider a discussion, the spokesman said.
