Commissioners oppose PAUSE ballot question | News

Mail Staff Writer Chaffee County commissioners voted to approve a resolution opposing a citizen-initiated ballot initiative, 1B – “Protect Animals from Unnecessary Suffering and Exploitation,” at their regular meeting Tuesday. Commissioner Keith Baker made the presentation on the proposed resolution, pointing out the language of the ballot initiative echoes things that are already illegal and incorporates language “so vague and so general it would prohibit generally accepted animal husbandry practices and other animal treatments for both small animals and large livestock animals.” Baker said he had not spoken to anyone statewide who is in favor of the initiative. He said while the initiative may have “noble intent,” its language is potentially detrimental to the state’s livestock industry and organizations such as 4-H, Future Farmers of America and rodeo, including the National Western Stock Show.

State board of health invites Carlstrom into membership

Public Health Director Andrea Carlstrom told commissioners Monday, during the Chaffee County work session, that she has been asked to be on the state board of health. Carlstrom said she had a meeting with the state this week to find out more of what that would entail, and said it was quite an honor. She delivered a report to the commissioners, meeting as the county board of health, detailing the most recent COVID-19 vaccination rates. Chaffee County was recently fifth in the state for total doses of COVID-19 administered to county residents per 100,000 people. The board also heard a Department of Human Services report from Dave Henson of Child Protective services.
