The @FortMorganTimes Editorial Board says, “about one in 10 jobs in Logan, Morgan and Weld counties are related to construction and extraction, a government term for the energy industry” and urge @GovofCO to “go through a transparent legislative process” for regulations.

[Protect Colorado @ProtectCO]

We agree!

“We support less regulation and more collaboration... Give oil and gas a seat at the table... find some middle ground. And certainly don’t apply a rule good for those in Boulder and Denver to the rest of the state.” See more via @FortMorganTimes https://t.co/MtJdVwLG6w

“Voters understand what the vocal minority and unelected bureaucrats can’t seem to comprehend… About one in 10 jobs in Logan, Morgan and Weld counties are related to construction and extraction, a government term for the energy industry.” @FortMorganTimes https://t.co/MtJdVwLG6w

“With due respect to this board, this is an overreach... We vehemently oppose any such conduct by this board, and call to leave the lawmaking to the elected lawmakers.”

Stop the bureaucratic overreach, @GovOfCO!
