@dcwoodruff Obviously the original sponsors statements are in conflict with a fringe member of the caucus and will carry more weight. Here are @SteveFenberg’s final comments

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

ICYMI, this is regulatory certainty under #SB181
@SteveFenberg: This bill won't stop industry overnight
@bouldercounty: April COGCC meetings are cancelled
@aurorasentinel: Suspend all oil drilling permits in Aurora
@adamscountygov: Already did that 2 wks ago

A gaffe is when a politician accidentally tells the truth.
WATCH @kcbecker on #SB181: "Because those local governments are going to push ‘em out of their—out of their communities...[3-second pause]...and they can’t under this bill. Just arbitrarily…”

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

@TheEllenDumm @KatyaBee4 .@SteveFenberg said under #SB181 local gov'ts could establish setbacks beyond the state's setback. Sponsors also said there weren't any bans in #SB181 and yet... https://t.co/0DKsMooAFg #coleg #copolitics

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

WATCH: #SB181 has already triggered a ban in one key energy producing area: Adams County. The bill sponsors need to come clean — 181 is about stopping energy development. Don't take our word for it...

[Dan Haley @danhaleyCO]

.@simonrlomax w/ @VitalforColo testified against #SB181, saying #oilandgas contributes greatly to BEST program for schools. Adams County received $102 M of those funds. The same Adams County that just passed a 6-month ban. Schools there have applied for another $74 M. #coleg

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

Just a reminder about Adams County's rushed temporary #oilandgas ban as a result of #SB181, which sponsors continue to say "isn't a ban, isn't a de facto ban, nor a moratorium." #coleg

A word from Kyle about how Adams County does business, and it goes beyond today's oil and gas decision.

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

@COHouseDem Local communities across the state who represent the vast majority of energy development in Colorado were excluded and oppose this #SB181. Looks like your "no moratorium" talking point is also void. https://t.co/Cfr4hlkglN #coleg

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

Will #SB181 authors @kcbecker & @SteveFenberg listen to the people of Weld County, the state's top energy producer?
"The last few weeks have undoubtedly been worrying for families in the oil & gas industry...the state should listen" https://t.co/o6x74PQ6f9 #coleg #copolitics

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

@evrazna is "the largest private employer in our region — not to mention the direct support it provides to suppliers throughout our region — the cascading effect of needlessly stifling energy development in the state would be deep & long-lasting.” https://t.co/CrQEDv6Wxa #coleg

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

Will #SB181 authors @kcbecker & @SteveFenberg listen to criticism from @ChieftainNews?
"EVRAZ could be just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. How many other businesses throughout Colorado would be negatively impacted by the bill?" https://t.co/xXGLfWcTSG #copolitics #coleg

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

Will #SB181 @kcbecker & @SteveFenberg listen to mainstream critics?

Vital's Rich Coolidge: #SB181 cited 7 times in Adams Co. temporary ban. LegCouncil found 181 allows for state & local prohibitions, but "authors & supporters of 181...have spent weeks denying it. They have dismissed & ridiculed the suggestion...yet here we are" #copolitics #coleg

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

Hardworking Coloradans from the #oilandgas industry continue to try and make their voices heard at #coleg and Adams Cty. Today tho “.@adamscountygov’s elected leaders don’t just make it hard for their citizens to speak out, they laugh at them when they do.”

A word from Kyle about how Adams County does business, and it goes beyond today's oil and gas decision.

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

“Twice now @adamscountygov have sprung these proposed #oilandgas bans with just 24 hours notice. The absolute minimum under the law. It means that they don’t really want to hear from the public at these public hearings” https://t.co/BrtdHkSMH1 #coleg

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

#SB181 sponsors testified over and over that there was no #oilandgas ban, de facto ban nor moratorium. Even chided SB181 opponents for misinformation. Please reference Exhibit A 👇

[Kyle Clark @KyleClark]

Adams County Commissioners, for the second time since October, are holding a hastily-scheduled public hearing before a temporary ban on new oil and gas permits. Both times issuing the legal minimum 24 hours notice to the public. Tomorrow's hearing is at 2pm. #9NEWS #copolitics

Political appointee and acting COGCC Director says robust stakeholder process apparently starts after the bill is adopted. #coleg

[Vital for Colorado @VitalforColo]

Speaker @kcbecker says #SB181 will not shut down the industry, but as @EdieHooton said at her Boulder town hall, "It might have to be death by a thousand cuts, but we’re just starting this year." #coleg https://t.co/KDkk9RAItS
