There simply is no credible research to back claims that #Prop112 is necessary. Vote No on 112 to protect our economy. #copolitics https://t.co/xNJNwMbOJ1

#Prop112 is a job-killing ban on oil and gas, one of Colorado's leading economic drivers. Vote No on 112 via @DenverPost Editorial Board: https://t.co/RFErGK7T02 #copolitics

Want to keep moving Colorado forward? Vote No on #Prop112, which studies show will devastate our economy.

Proponents of #Proposition112 claim Colorado’s oil and natural gas industry and its employees won’t be severely impacted by the setback measure because it only applies to new drilling. 

Find out why this claim is running on empty: https://t.co/xNJNwMbOJ1

There are a lot of ads opposing #Proposition112, and many of them are alarming (and true). Political Specialist @CBS4Shaun gives a bipartisan ad featuring a prominent Democrat and Republican a reality check via @CBSdenver https://t.co/NKUP2cZHgs

A recent report by @KDVR points to a number of studies that show health issues with oil and gas development. One study is so flawed that before it was released, the @CDPHE issued a statement warning the public about its misleading conclusions.

Two @COSchoolofMines @PayneInstitute professors call out colleague for “misleading” the public that the impact of #Prop112 would not be a devastating economic blow to Colorado's economy. 

“We find that this claim is not true.”

Fact Check: Is @PSRenvironment an unbiased source of information on oil and gas development? @KDVR fails to define PSR as an anti-fossil fuel group in a recent report on the health effects of #oilandgas.

A common misconception about #Proposition112 is that 2,500-foot setbacks will not have a significant impact on Colorado’s economy.

You don’t have to take our word for it: independent studies show this is false. #copolitics https://t.co/xNJNwMbOJ1

The truth about #Proposition112: The Energy Accountability Project clears up misconceptions about the 2,500-foot setback measure. #copolitics https://t.co/xNJNwMbOJ1

.@NedBreslin, president and CEO of @TennysonCenter for Children describes the profoundly positive impacts the oil and gas sector has had on the community: https://t.co/TrR8KpzHXr via @ColoradoBizMag #copolitics

The @DenverPost Editorial Board points out #Proposition112 isn’t about imposing reasonable setbacks. It’s a ban on oil and gas operations and is not the best way to address the concerns over oil and gas drilling in Colorado. #copolitics https://t.co/RFErGK7T02

Worried about the economic effects of #Proposition112, Northern Colorado developers are putting their projects on hold. “Anyone that owns a home in Colorado can expect a depreciating value on the property..." said Weld developer Martin Lind via @SaraKnuth https://t.co/oFLtFvjLzK

[The Energy Accountability Project @energyproj]

The Boulder @DailyCamera Editorial Board claims the estimate that #Proposition112 would put 85% of non-federal land in Colorado off-limits to new oil and gas development came from opponents of the measure.

That’s false.

“Driving the oil and gas industry out of Colorado will eliminate jobs, reduce tax collections, harm the economy and will simply push oil and gas production to somewhere else with less robust regulation.” #copolitics #Proposition112

Fact Check: The Boulder @DailyCamera Editorial Board claims it is not certain that a diminished #oilandgas industry would devastate Colorado’s economy, but a recent study on #Proposition112 found otherwise. Rating: Out Of Gas #copolitics https://t.co/ySJkGoChwH

[The Energy Accountability Project @energyproj]

FACT: Colorado’s #oilandgas industry is 6th safest out of 83 industries in Colorado and both the @CDPHE and @EPA indicate it is well within state and federal health and safety guidelines, making #Proposition112 unnecessary. #copolitics https://t.co/eTZJdBvl7A

[The Energy Accountability Project @energyproj]

The Boulder @DailyCamera Editorial Board claims “life is at stake” if #Proposition112 is not passed and cites a study that actually confirms the @CDPHE’s findings of low risk for health effects at distances 500ft and greater. We say: Out Of Gas #copolitics https://t.co/ySJkGoChwH

“We don’t have to choose between having #oilandgas development or having safe communities,” said Ken Meritt, former Greeley firefighter.

“Measure heading for the fall ballot would shut down nearly all oil and gas production in one of the top energy-producing states,” writes the @WSJ Editorial Board on setback measure #Proposition112 via @WSJOpinion https://t.co/wgZYw2Ip0W #copolitics
