Jane Bauder Logan County Commissioner

I am currently a Logan County Colorado Commissioner actively working to save our Oil and Gas industry.

[Kirby Wynn @Kirby_Wynn]

Well reasoned and powerful perspective worth reading on what is wrong with state of play in @ColoradoOGCC rulemaking process. Data, facts and science over emotional #KeepItInTheGround pleas with unsubstantiated claims is all @WesternRuralCO has been asking for.

"We insist @GovofCO and @ColoradoOGCC change course and honor the commitment SB-181 made to empower local governments to do what we do best - to regulate land use including oil and gas to meet our local needs," Rio Blanco County Commissioner Jeff Rector. #CoLeg #CoEqualAuthority

[WesternRuralCo @WesternRuralCO]

Will the @ColoradoOGCC listen to our elected officials and take action? A 2,000 foot setback would mean important local services like fire, police and ambulance districts, schools and other social services won't receive the funding they need. #CoLeg

COGCC 2,000' setbacks head scratcher?

Draft rules never contemplated quadrupling the staff recommended 500’ setback yet COGCC OPENED deliberations with a 2,000 ft proposal. Politics not science?

New study suggests that the COGCC proposal to increase setback distance of #oilandgas operations from 500 to 2,000 feet would render a vast majority of potential production “unavailable” and cost #Colorado's economy billions of dollars. #coleg #copolitics

Last week @ColoradoOGCC took an unexpected last-minute interest in proposing a standard 2K-foot setback. This arbitrary number flies in the face of the 500-foot setback COGCC’s Staff recommended. At 11am we address why this action undermines SB-181 https://t.co/jzoYAb1MSq #CoLeg

"It gives me great confidence to know we are producing our #energy right here in our own back yard, for our businesses and for Coloradans across this state, in a safe, responsible, and environmentally protective manner." @debbiebrownco @colo_politics

“Would moving oil and gas production from U.S. federal lands to, say, Nigeria, Iraq, Russia or China reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)? Quite the opposite.” #colorado #copolitics #coleg #oilandgas https://t.co/74uhi2MUxm

[WesternRuralCo @WesternRuralCO]

Before Labor Day Weekend, @ColoradoOGCC Staff had recommended 500-foot setbacks, but just this week the Commission began discussing 2,000-foot setbacks with final deliberations as soon as Monday. This is extremely problematic, and goes against SB-181 in numerous ways. 1/ #COLeg

According to @wallethub, Colorado has the third-lowest energy costs in the country thanks to oil and natural gas unlocked by fracking. Learn more about how our energy industry impacts Coloradans every day: https://t.co/vsbO03xSjK

"SB-181 empowers local governments as never before to regulate oil and gas, so why are legislators working to get some authority back? Any dispute about the meaning should be decided in the courts not by these legislators." Terry Hofmeister, Phillips County Commissioner #CoLeg

[WesternRuralCo @WesternRuralCO]

"A major part of our economy & jobs are impacted by natural gas economic downturns. SB-181's draft rules show the Commission has little knowledge of our land-use regs & ordinances. This knowledge lies with local government." Stuart McArthur, Town of Parachute #CoLeg @ColoradoOGCC

[WesternRuralCo @WesternRuralCO]

"Good rules are found through compromise and hearing both sides and evaluating available data. So far in SB-181, there have not been many compromises - facts and statistical data are often overlooked." Dwayne Knudson
Environmental Manager, Ursa Operating Company #COLeg

[WesternRuralCo @WesternRuralCO]

"We are not the Front Range. We do not have the huge populations and we shouldn’t be governed by the same policies. Without local control, missing in SB-181’s draft rules, the importance of local citizen input is completely diminished." Lisa Piering - Rangely Town Manager #CoLeg

[WesternRuralCo @WesternRuralCO]

"New language proposed in SB181 means the state can’t overrule a local decision unless it would fail to protect public health and the environment." Matt Lepore, principal at Insight Energy Law representing WRLG Coalition and former COGCC director. #coLeg - https://t.co/4xv2socxSh
