"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)

With Doug Evans.  Now living in...Elizabeth, Colorado.

"I am writing to express my great displeasure at discovering that Colorado Mountain College has entered into a lease agreement with SourceGas to build a natural gas compressor plant on Spring Valley Campus in Glenwood Springs. This agreement violates many of the principles that drew me to CMC Spring Valley in 1982....."  (Read more? Click title)
