Didn't we see Cory Gardner rallying around a fake maypole called a wind turbine last fall?
Regardless of the state of Craig in particular, in general, coal, gold, silver, oil, gas etc. "destroy" towns all the time. It's called the boom and bust cycle, an inevitable part of fossil extraction. It's profit driven. Some towns are sufficiently diversified to get through it and come back. Some don't. Has always been that way. She's lived here all her life and never noticed?
I've been to Craig more times than I care to remember over the past twenty-five years. Apparently Marble hasn't, because even in it's heyday, at it's very best, it was an sorry armpit. The humane thing would have been to legislate the leveling of the miserable place back in the '90s, and return it to the deer, antelope and prairie dogs. We do blighted area destruction as "urban renewal" all the time, why not ever rural renewal?
…and while her mythical destruction of Craig is underway, Logan County, the HOME of Sonnenberg has a billion dollars in new wind farms on the Peetz Table – just how much of that tax base, the new jobs and all of the exciting things at the Junior College in Sterling would he like to give back? Ditto for Kit Carson County, whose largest single taxpayer to that agricultural county before the Carousel Wind Farm was the freaking PRISON. Prowers County; Lincoln County. Just where in the sam hell do these people come up with this crap? And with the exception of the small percentage of the total being attributable to our rural electric load, the vast majority of these were placed in this counties with narely a finger having to be lifted by locals -except for the county commissioners to sign their permits. It is the Front Range (read: urban customers) who are paying for all of this rural renewal through their monthly electricity bills; NONE of it would have happened without our renewable standard.
The only real war on rural Colorado is the one that is self-inflicted.
She has only one Marble left – her name.
LOL
"It was the Government that made a moral decision that wind was cleaner than coal. . . "
"Maypole"??? . . . a little early — apparently couldn't somehow figure out how to work in those poor Colorado groundhogs that have been completely devastated –losing their generational familial burrows to clean energy? My guess it that they probably haven't seen a single groundhog walk into a bar in downtown Craig since you libs started digging up Main Street to mine for your precious wind energy?
Holy WTF, Batman??? Colorado Republican Senate leadership at its zenith . . .
Hey Moddy, who's the bigger idiot: Marble, or Klingenschmitt, or you???
Where is Andrew Carnegie to defend the loose marble?
I've spent a good amount of time in Craig and Moffat County during the past 15 years. It's no longer a 2-3 employer town; meaning the coal mines and the power plant. Craig is a bedroom community for the Steamboat ski area; many people who can't afford Steamboat housing prices live in Craig. Routt and Moffat Counties provide daily bus service between the two towns. Senator Marble needs to do some basic homework. Regards, C.H.B.
It sounds like Sen. Marble has lost what was left of hers.
Third liberal to make that joke in the same thread…
. . . for you and the other dumbass GOPers who didn't get it the first two times . . .
Say, "Thank you, liberals!" now . . .
I got it the first time and ignored it. And I'm not a "dumbass GOPer." I consider myself a common sense conservative. Cheers! C.H.B.
