It’s absolutely laughable and hypocritical for people in Seattle, New York and Southwest Colorado – whose ancestors have long since pillaged the land and resources in their backyards – to tell us how to preserve ours. It’s a slap in the face to our state, our region and our people.

It’s exactly the same as saying “it’s OK for everyone else in the country to have a thriving economy, but you can’t have one at all.”
