SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent/John Stroud "Tipton bill would fund education through expanded drilling"

A special thank you goes out to reporter John Stroud for running this piece on The Glenwood Springs Post Independent.

It is not very often that positive reporting, unless it is a press release or column done by  the conservative politician themselves; that conservative news makes it into any publication of the PI.

That's a shame.  There are so many wonderful works throughout the area that are fueled by conservative values.

Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Colorado) and his Education and Energy Act of 2011 would  place 33 percent of the federal portion of oil and gas revenues in Colorado toward both K-12 public education funding and post-secondary education funding.

This revenue is based on only new lease revenues that  are unappropriated as of yet.

Tipton's Education and Energy Act  would eventually bring our public schools to the level of self-sustained.  Easing the pressure off taxpayers and giving more stability to our school districts and for our kids.

Especially if Coloradans can ease confining regulations, increase sensible environmental responsiblity in a pro-energy development environment and drill, baby drill.
