Six energy questions for Paul Ryan(1)
Mitt Romney has received millions of dollars in campaign donations from the oil and gas industry. In Colorado, he has a 50-person energy advisory committee, more than 40 of which are associated with the oil, gas, or coal industry. Does this create a conflict of interest between a Romney – Ryan administration and responsibly managing our public lands?

Cornflakes or Cheerios? Breakfast Blend or French Roast? Do I have time to brush my teeth? Which pants should I wear?
The OHV Decision, Part Seven(0)
“Well, I understand the issue there. And sometimes you have to watch what you ask for, because you might get it…”
The OHV Decision, Part Six(0)
“Yes. In that area — I’m not sure if it’s a designated parking area — in fact, I’m very sure it’s NOT a designated parking area, but it’s been used as a parking and camping area for as long as I’ve lived in this area…”

The OHV Decision, Part Five(7)
When you say, ‘open all County roads to OHVs,’ it’s not for recreation; it’s just so someone can ride their OHV into town to get their mail…”
