Last week, I was transported to a dystopic chapter from our past. I witnessed big business and big government run roughshod over the interests of the people of the state of Colorado.
I thought we learned our lesson. Historically, the mining industry has not been a good steward of our precious environment. to expand its gravel mining operation into bucolic northern Silverthorne. The application has been conditionally approved by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety.
Misguided state employees insisted they need extra hearing time to rebut the people opposing the mine. Are they mixed up? State employees are supposed to represent the interests of the people.
