Clean air and water? Nah, Becker wants your vote

Jon Becker is running for Cory Gardner’s seat in the legislature.  

Recently he has been parroting the line from every GOP political wannabe from Governor to commission–attacking Gov. Ritter and the state’s newly implemented oil and gas regulations, according to the

Ft.Morgan Times:

The legislature and Gov. Bill Ritter pushed through new oil and gas regulations which seemed to show that the industry was not welcome in Colorado, Becker said. That is the kind of faulty decision which the state cannot afford in this economy.

Instead, the state needs to make sure that businesses feel like they are welcome, but companies seem to bypass Colorado in favor of more attractive states, he said.

So what, one must wonder, is worth protecting in Colorado other than unfettered access to Big (and little) Oil to do business however they want?  Apparently not our air or water.
