From the Styx by Peggy Tibbetts

As I mentioned previously, the Grand Valley Citizens Alliance invited Tod to be part of the Save the Roan Plateau ads. This, the second ad, is a tribute to Representative John Salazar and Representative Mark Udall for their efforts to keep drill rigs off the Roan Plateau. You can thank Rep. Salazar and Rep. Udall and ask Senator Allard to support their efforts by going to Save the Roan Plateau.org Take Action.

While you’re at the Save the Roan Plateau website be sure to check out Gas Wells Cram Garfield County.

Here’s how Tod Tibbetts responded to the article:

“The hard work of citizens and politicians is beginning to show some results. Finally the regulatory agencies are paying more attention to the public’s concerns. The appropriate agencies, such as the EPA, are starting to address public health and environmental issues.

“On the local level we have had a gas well drilling ordinance in place in Silt for several years, and the Board recently revised it to address the ongoing impacts and strengthen it accordingly. Silt’s gas severance tax proceeds funded a road impact study which will soon be released and the Board will be better able to address those impacts accordingly. The people have spoken and slowly but surely they are being heard.”

Recall Update

Currently we are waiting out the protest period, which ends September 28. I will continue next week with lots more recall news and information, or before if there’s any breaking news.

The letter to the editor by Duke Cox in The Paper today, was a particularly vicious pack of lies. If we really wanted to take over the town, it doesn’t make sense that we would work so hard to put the recall in hands of the voters. The decision will be up to the voters, not the recall committee – or by secret board meetings.

Remember! This is your source for up-to-date and accurate news and information about the recall.
