Why are Western Colorado Independent Conservatives sending Scott Tipton back to Congress in 2012?
He listens and then with no fuss, little fanfare and zero ego goes out and gets a balanced job done for the folks he represents.
Say YES to Scott Tipton (R-Colorado).
Scott Tipton:
"..We cannot wait any longer to solve our country's economic crisis and ensure that programs like Medicare are put on a sustainable course, while protecting access to care for seniors, and taking responsible steps to get our country moving in the right direction.
Over the past two weeks, I had the opportunity to speak directly with many seniors in my district during six town hall meetings and two tele-town hall meetings. During these town halls, I listened to the uncertainty and concerns that many expressed over the future of our country. Seniors are worried about what will happen to critical programs, such as Medicare, if Washington doesn't get spending under control soon.
I share these concerns....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: Congressman Scott Tipton "Congressional Hearing on Western Water Storage Announced Following Tipton’s Request "
Congressional Hearing on Western Water Storage Announced Following Tipton’s Request
"WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following a request from Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO), the House Natural Resources Water and Power Subcommittee today announced that there will be a hearing to examine issues surrounding water storage in the West.
The hearing entitled, Water for Our Future and Job Creation: Examining Regulatory and Bureaucratic Barriers to New Surface Storage Infrastructure, is scheduled for Tuesday, February 7th at 10:00 a.m., in room 1324, Longworth House Office Building.
Read more on the hearing here.
In his request for the hearing to Natural Resources Water and Power Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock, Tipton wrote last week:
The uncertainties of annual water availability can imperil those communities which are hindered by an unwieldy regulatory framework that hinders the ability to store water for vital purposes. Through prudent supply management and the ability to store much needed water, communities can support jobs that depend on the availability of water, protect food security, control flooding, ensure continued recreation opportunities, provide water for the development of hydropower, and meet environmental protection needs.View the entire letter here.

SandBox Comments: Aspen Times "Maroon Bells fee legitimate"
SandBox sends out a thank you to 3rd Congressional District Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Colorado) for once again stepping into the middle of a controversy in our district and lending his leadership to overseeing a resolution.
In this case, it was the inflamed hyperbole of Mike Kenealy, recreation special uses coordinator for the White River National Forest that originally spun the story with the help of liberal media. It's good to hear Kenealy now acknowledge that the Forest Service's ability to regulate traffic in the Maroon Creek Valley and charge the fee was never in jeopardy from the review.
Tipton listens, usually quietly and in unobtrusive ways. He then acts. Instead of sending out a presser and calling for a photo op like Polis, Udall and Bennett; Tipton simply gets the job done. In this case, if he had not called for a review, the flamers would have dominated the press and upset folks would have likely waited a lot longer for resolution to their concerns.
Coloradans appreciate that. Good to see another issue is resolved and everyone can move forward.
Provided the liberal Colorado media let us.

SandBox Comments: KKCO 11 News "Rep. Tipton hears gripes about GJ airport fence"
Why are Western Colorado Independent Conservatives sending Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO) back to Congress in 2012?
Because the seemingly small issues like this fence controversy in Grand Junction are normal, everyday problems that he handles.
Tipton's not only is doing a phenomenal job in Washington, he listens and stays in touch with his district.
He knows his citizens, works and walks among them as a common man and truly cares about their lives.
"...Rep. Tipton listened and took notes. He eventually took the floor and said he would be watching the developments. He said he was concerned about the fence's impact on the local economy, and said if needed, he would bring in the federal government. Kenyon said, "This is one of the most important, if not the most important airport in Western Colorado, something we've got to make sure is prospering to the best of our ability."
Rep. Tipton also hinted at the possibility that the Board's interpretation of regulations may be hindering local business. He said, "It is an example of where government regulations when they are interpreted certain ways are having definite impacts on people. We''ll be listening to the airport authority to be responsible to get this airport moving again."
According to board member John Stevens, no one from the board knew about the meeting, and only found out about it by watching 11 News."

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "TDC appreciates all parties joining in talks"
Dorothea Farris, Vice President of the Thompson Divide Coalition, writes in to the Post Independent this morning.
The political diplomacy (and the shrewd timing of release) are duly noted and appreciated as part of the process.
SandBox Nanny is certain that commentators will be appreciative as well.
With that said, SandBox points out that once again it is the chatter out here that has brought the balance. Not the politics of token acknowledgements.
Support Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Colorado) as he continues his path of bringing the first, true balance to the Thompson Divide controversy.
His steady hand is in need of more support from the industry, more support from the folks and your continued encouragement in chatter.
Slow, steady progress is being made on political levels against radical groups on both sides.
The path to success that works lies in the middle.
Again, thank you to Dorothea Farris for her well-timed press release today. It certainly has been very helpful.
