Contrary to popular opinion, Democrats do not have a monopoly on protecting the environment

Republican state representative Scott Tipton- HD58, and Republican Attorney General are out to protect Colorado's environment - in a big way.

In a press release sent to The Constitutional Reporter, both Republican leaders have sent joint letters to federal officials concerning pollution in the South West region of Colorado. Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the Environmental Protection Agency will be receiving those letters.

Rising levels of pollution continue to cloud, both literally and figuratively, the concerns of residents in Southwestern Colorado. There, pollution caused by the Four Corners Power Plant (FCPP) has been drifting into Colorado, despite much of the power generated going to other states. We get the pollution, without the benefit of the energy.

The matter now rests in the hands of Democrats, and we wait to see if Ken Salazar will address the situation, along with the Environmental Protection Agency, or if they will let the issue blow by them with the wind. Will Salazar, from his newly appointed post, prove to be a capable leader for Colorado's environment?

  1. The liberals don't care to protect the environment! Their primary motive is to return mankind to the dark ages. Nuclear power is the solution in this case but, again the enviros don't want clean energy if it means real progress!
