So why exactly are our tax dollars being spent to repair and re-pave 7 miles of County Road 4 east of Powderwash?

If memory serves, there is only one ranch in that area. Why isn't Questar or Wexpro paying to repair the roads they have damaged?

Seems if our tax dollars would be better spent benefiting the residents of the county, not corporations that just use the resources.

Kudos to the editorial board for standing up and taking this position.

“They could say we need an ambulance with a full-time staff in Maybell and Dinosaur and an extra one here in Craig,” Mathers said. “If they recommend it to us and we don’t do it and we have some major catastrophe, how do we deal with that?

So Tom and Tom are afraid of hearing information that may prevent a catastrophe? I don't understand it, They want to not hear info so they can cover their butts if a hypothetical scenario might occur? It makes no sense.

City of Hamilton? City of Maybell? It's a bit difficult for a County Government to have relations with non-existing governmental entities. Hamilton and Maybell aren't incorporated areas, meaning they ain't cities, towns or villages. They have post offices, community groups, etc, but they don't have a formal governmental structure.

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that Terry bought the store and I know that Marilynn will do a fine job. I look forward to seeing the store a bustling community “hot-spot” like it was before.

Interesting that the county signed a lease agreement with Gulfport Energy yesterday. Word is that they are the project proponent of this whole seismic project

Also, where is the news that Maes improperly reimbursed himself $40,000 for mileage costs and was fined $17,500? Or the fact that he touts himself as a successful businessman yet made $11,000 last year? The voters want to know facts, not stump speeches.

Yeah, yeah, Ritter killed the oil and gas industry. That would be true if not for the fact that more wells are being drilled in CO than any other Rocky Mountain state and the industry, itself disagreeing with that notion.

“the new regulations came at a time when the worst recession hit the nation. Plummeting natural gas prices nationwide and a lack of transmission lines to ship Colorado gas to markets elsewhere in the nation had far more to do with a slowdown in drilling than the new rules”
