Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is urging the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission to do a lot more than just include Western Slope residents in public hearings over reintroduction of the gray wolf.
Because that reintroduction is to happen on the Western Slope only, Weiser also wants the commission to create a special advisory panel made up solely of Western Slope elected officials to ensure people west of the Continental Divide have an appreciable say in what happens next.
âTo be successful, the planning process needs diverse and robust input from the communities directly affected by the reintroduction plan,â Weiser wrote in a letter this week to the 11-member commission. âIt is of the utmost importance that Western Slope communities have a seat at the table. This will not only benefit those communities that are so directly impacted by the work of the commission, but their voices will be of tremendous value.â
John Marshall has been offered the job to serve as the 10th president at Colorado Mesa University.
After a national search that produced more than 60 applicants, the current vice president of student services at CMU was chosen Thursday out of a field of three finalists. Marshall would replace President Tim Foster, who is retiring from the job this summer after 17 years on the job.
In a unanimous decision, members of CMU s Board of Trustees said they did so because of Marshall s background, historical knowledge of the university and abilities in a wide range of things, such as his leadership skills, working relationship with students and ability to create partnerships with the community.
