Question of the week
Did the Moffat County School Board make the right decision in replacing MCHS athletic director Rick Penner, who had been considered missing after not being heard from for about a week?

classic wealth redistribution. Do you really think that the O&G industry will just suck up the extra expense? Not. They will pass it along with higher prices. So, the government will take the “wind fall” and give it to the “middle class” for tuition, after they take a portion to administer the project.
Why stop there, why not every time a O&G company wants to drill a prospect well, we should tax the crap out of them. That way we can make damn sure we have to buy our energy from someone who wants to kill us (middle easterner).

You are right bigdog and Ritter is a complete and total idiot. How in the hell can so many people think that ANY company is just going to take the loss and not pass it on to consumers? Sure makes me feel better to know that now some other idiots (scholarship reviewers) are going to decide who is the most worthy to receive our money that Ritter is forcing us to donate.

If I knew that in coming to Craig, I'd be facing a room full of PO'd people, I'd go to Steamboat too. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Probably so. You don't get many comments till it's in your back yard and then everyone gripes. There was an article about an Australian company buying oil rights up by old Mt. Harris. Some are really throwing a fit. It's the old “We want it, but we want it somewhere else” attitude. That's like California wants more power, but they want the power plants built in a different state. People just need to get over it.
