Sand Box Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Senators should stay out of the fray over unitization"

Thank you, Rep. Scott for being the first and only one to step up and call a spade a spade.

The rules and processes technically do not allow Sen. Udall and Sen. Bennet to lodge the interference they have to date over the unitization requests.

"....Of course, all affected parties and stakeholders need to be active in future NEPA analysis, but we also need to abide by the rules and processes currently in place.

To that end, Sens. Udall and Bennet need to refrain from future attempts to insert themselves in this and any other unitization request through the BLM.

Finally, I support the stated intentions of the Thompson Divide Coalition and the Community for Thompson Divide to have input in the way these federal lands are managed.

I encourage both groups and all concerned citizens to familiarize themselves with the NEPA process and to stay engaged as the Lake Ridge unit moves forward. There will be many opportunities for public comment before any development occurs, and I wholeheartedly support members of the community making their voices heard.
