A KOTO Radio show, called Friday Live, that aired November 4, 1977. Jerry Greene interviews Roberta Peterson, a Home Rule Charter Commission member and the controller for the Telluride Company. The interview starts with Roberta's background: Roberta is originally from Montana, but has lived in Greeley (where she went to school), and in Grand Junction. Roberta moved to Telluride in 1970. She enjoyed going to the Sheridan café back in those days. Roberta started doing the books for Telluride Automotive in 1972 and then started working for the Telluride Company as their controller. The discussion then turns towards the differences between the Telluride company, Telluride Properties (which no longer exists), and the Telluride ski area. Next, Greene and Peterson focus on the Telluride Company's expenses and how the company makes money. Included in this discussion is how the company sets the rates for the ski passes. As of this interview, half day passes were $7.50. Many community members see the Telluride Company as the "bad guys". Roberta speaks about the problems with the lack of lodging in town and how this will take away from Telluride's profits as there are not enough beds to meet the tourist's needs. The Telluride Company is for sale. Next, the discussion shifts to Roberta's role as the Home Rule Charter commission member and how this will help Telluride to be able to tax tourists, without placing taxes on residents. Roberta believes in public elections and voting to get the Home Rule charter passed because she believes not enough people attend town hall meetings.
