"Good job by Jensen. This is where the whole thing should have stayed, should never have been tattled on to BOCC and letters to the editor. That kind of phone tree fauxtrage rounding up back strokers is a thing of the past.
Here's what I think about the compressor station itself. It's not about the station, it wouldn't matter if they hid the thing decked out as a high-end custom build exterior. These neighbors up in Spring Valley have been deadset against any kind of build, any kind of growth. CMC only thinks they would have smooth sails if they wanted to build more campus on these lands. Nothing, nothing is going to please these people. The proof of that is in the years worth of project bid submittals for developing Spring Valley. Go to bid clerk or Dodge reports and surf for Spring Valley under the parameters of the past 15 years. Then sit back and see the glimpse of the hard hitting cronyism politics that CMC trustees are really dealing with here. Nothing will please these people. You watch now, this new spot is going to be met with the same ruckus by the same people. Just under a different hat.
Source needs the station, natural gas is a natural fact of life. The best spot for it was the one just left behind. Since that is gone now because everyone that is above board and not steeped in self-interests took the high road and let these people go through democracy without looking into history, that ideal spot is a no-go.
The trustees did what we elected them to do and bent over backwards as diplomats. That's done now, let's get down to the business at hand and be done with it. No more delays.
Nice job, CMC trustees." (April 12, 2012)

SandBoxBlogs: Comment Spotlight: " 'hammerandnails' on "Feds may investigate collaboration between school resource officers and ICE in Colorado" "
Due to his content within his comment, albeit truthful content or not, 'SandBox Nanny' has mixed emotions in giving the highly coveted by regional avatars 'Comment Spotlight' nod to nails today.
There were two deciding factors.
The first is that 'hammerandnails' is ranked in the top three for traffic draws on SandBox. He is listened to and that comes from his often succinct comments. In this comment he nails the general feeling of so many conservatives, liberals and independents in our area that 'SandBox Nanny' feels she must listen to and acknowledge his words.
The second is that the post right before this one has the words of Texas Governor Rick Perry that are closely linked to one of the points 'hammerandnails' is speaking to.
Yes, God Bless an Independent and Free Republic.
Here's to the little guy.
'hammerandnails':
"As sad of a fact as it is, we get 100% more done out here.
As far as the liberal thing, God forbid.
Roughly 4 yrs. ago, when we all decided to burn our republican cards and go rogue, it was thanks to that sly old fox that we all can toss a retirement party for and thank her for being the singlemost catalyzing change ever in the history of 81601.
When 22 and I (sic) stood out in front of that Aspen Glen mcmansion and made up our minds on behalf of a friend, we knew it would be the politics that had to be sliced down first. Actually went up to the cabin, stood around the fire and made a ceremony out of tossing each red card in. Sometimes, waves of nostalgia still wash over each of us.
But then again, that feeling is easily gone when a body can sit back and read something like todays PI. That with record unemployment in the county, triple amounts of homeless and ten times that amount of county folks hungry and hurting, drug cartels, gangs, an unbelievable amount of waste spending in every thing from justice to admin, and either soft corruption or sheer stupidity of blind eyes looking the other way; our county GOP is only focused on the right to bear arms and personhood.
And that's even with some of our conservative own standing naked with no clothes in the thick of some of those problems.
God bless an Independent and Free Republic. "
