Not everyone is cheering the Governor of Colorado’s fracking compromise. In fact, a lot of people are pretty ticked.
This week, the Governor of Colorado announced he would convene a special task force to work on resolving conflicts between residents and the state’s oil and gas industry. It’s made the political establishment here breathe a huge sigh of relief.
The Colorado Governor’s office has announced a last-minute compromise to prevent a costly election battle this fall over oil and gas drilling in the state. Gov. John Hickenlooper hopes a new task force is a better solution to the fracking wars than competing ballot measures in November.
Political spending both for and against potential anti-fracking ballot measures is already washing over Colorado.
