#BREAKING Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board voted 3 to 2 to deny Transit Mix’s application for a permit to mine Hitch Rack Ranch. John Singletary, Jill Van Noord and Bob Randall voted to deny. Karin Utterback-Normann and Forrest Luke voted to approve @csgazette #hrrquarry

[Rachel Riley @rachel_m_riley]

Jill Van Noord: "After hearing all the testimony and considering the discussions and deliberation, I move that we deny the permit." -- Singletary seconds. #hitchrackranch

Transit Mix SUED the group of #ColoradoSprings citizens who opposed them...JUST for opposing them!

"Nothing has changed," Mulliken said. "And we believe the obvious tactic of transit mix is to bully the opposition, to burden the opposition financially, and to wear us all out."

The state mining board is holding hearings today to consider approving THIS. Yet ANOTHER ridiculous scar marring #ColoradoSprings Front Range. This is what it will look like …

Here's my latest update on the proposed Hitch Rack Ranch quarry: https://t.co/PRgsDsXueQ -- The Mined Land Reclamation Board is set to make a determination on Transit Mix's application at the end of April @csgazette

[Stop the Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry @Stop_the_Quarry]

The Gazette published an editorial on Sunday, claiming (yet another) massive visible, front range mining scar to be a "boon" for Colorado Springs. What's happening here?

Here's our response…
