So good to hear that Source Gas remains remembering that the teeny tiny bit of real information, that was piled into ten million tons of disinformation by a single source that started the snowball panic attack against the much needed compressor station; is the sole source that began what has turned out to be a high loss to CMC credibility.
Bottom line is that no matter how CMC now tries to package up their retreat and attempt to market it to the public at large; they entered into a legal lease agreement that Source Gas had no reason not to trust.
At least not until the 'one ringie-dingie' campaign started up from the usual sources that sort of thing usually comes from in Glenwood Springs.
Who loses?
The land and money grabbers who started the ruckus and then threw the jet fuel of disinformation on to the flames of their creation?
Or the taxpayers who will be footing the bill for this very costly stance of CMC Trustees who caved to that pressure?
Actually, it is every student who enters the CMC campus for a number of years to come who ultimately is hurt by this incredible waste of monetary resources by the Trustees. The taxpayers and general population of surrounding areas suffer the loss of credibility. At least until the next election cycle when Trustees can be swept out.
Good luck to Source Gas on this and thank you to Judge James Boyd for erring on the side of fairness. May Source prevail in their quest for monetary damages.
John Colson:
"The judge did not dismiss the entire SourceGas suit outright, as requested by CMC, leaving open the company's ability to sue the school for monetary damages.
The company has claimed that it spent roughly $2.5 million on equipment, engineering and planning for the proposed CMC site, and that shifting to another site will entail more costs.
SourceGas attorney Timothy Knapp told the Post Independent on July 7, following Judge Boyd's previous ruling, that the company would be seeking monetary damages from the college...."

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "Ex-cop in judicial limbo months after DUI charge"
Disclaimer: "Now that DA Beeson has thrown his hat in the ring for district attorney in the 9th, please take note that there will be no special treatment given to any news press surrounding his race. His articles, if they are SandBox worthy or chosen in the daily agg run-up; will be put up just like anyone else in a political race. What SandBox Commentators will continue to do, is heavily moderate his articles. (We are the only news media that provides the courtesy of moderating commentary from the general public on 9th Judicial District and Mr. Beeson's articles. All 9th Judicial news articles are DA Beeson's articles )" On this post, comment ability is blocked.
Chad Abraham:
"...Glenwood Police Chief Terry Wilson agreed that spots on the TRIDENT team are exclusive.
“You have to be proposed as a candidate,” he said.
The DEA occasionally taps TRIDENT members to assist in investigations, though local police are not actually employed by the federal agency, Wilson said.
Wilson declined to say whether Pedersen resigned of his own volition or was forced to quit after the traffic stop. Wilson said he doesn’t discuss personnel matters
Martin Beeson, district attorney of the 9th Judicial District, said in April that he is aware of Pedersen’s role in the drug busts and the statements he made in the hearing. But Beeson insisted that his refusal to release the entire sheriff’s office report about the former Glenwood cop’s traffic stop is not special treatment.
“We don’t want witnesses to be tainted by anything they might read in the newspapers,” he said last month.
“More importantly, with potential jurors our release of factual, evidentiary things about cases always runs the risk that an accused will not get his constitutional right to a fair trial.”
The Aspen Police Department and the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office routinely release arrest reports about DUIs and other crimes in their entirety. But Beeson said it is the policy of the 9th Judicial District “to not release anything to the public” about pending cases.
The case is now back on the desk of the 9th district’s chief magistrate, Judge James Boyd, for another reassignment. Court staff said Boyd may have to give the case to a Meeker judge or an out-of-district magistrate....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Edgar preliminary hearing set for Feb. 14"
"GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado — Ninth Judicial District Judge James Boyd set a preliminary hearing for Feb. 14 in the felony drug case against medical marijuana dispensary owner David M. Edgar of Basalt.
Edgar is accused of selling medical marijuana and cocaine illegally from his dispensary in Carbondale to undercover agents of the Two Rivers Drug Enforcement Task Force (TRIDENT). He faces eight felony charges...."
(Post Independent)
There have been an increasing number of troubling news stories over the past month or so on the medical marijuana industry here in Colorado.
An increasing number of busts for violations, a growing panic amongst dispensary and grower businesses who cannot gain access to the most fundamental needs of a small business such as banking ability, and a growing trend in government to either hold up in delays or flag applications.
Read the next three posts today on SandBox.
It looks like that Fed crackdown is on its way.
