Southeast Colorado voters ARE important - just ask McInnis!

McInnis' position in favor of Pinon Canyon expansion cost him the election. Southern Colorado was THE KEY to McInnis' defeat. He lost BIG in Las Animas County and all other counties that would be negatively impacted by an expansion.  In such a close contest the votes of people here MADE THE DIFFERENCE!  Thank you, everyone who voted against McInnis and his pro-expansion position.

The counties of Otero, Baca, Huerfano, Bent, Prowers, Crowley, Kiowa also carried Maes. Those are areas that will be negatively impacted by an expansion. So before anyone writes us off as 'unimportant' politically they need to re-evaluate their assessment!

And another interesting note is that even though the Springs Chamber 'endorsed' McInnis (because of his pro-expansion position) he LOST REALLY BIG IN EL PASO, TELLER COUNTIES......... hmmmmm.

McInnis backs out on visits to southeastern Colorado

Gubernatorial candidate McInnis apparently had made arrangements to meet locally in Trinidad and in La Junta on August 2nd but never showed.  But then he shows up in Colorado Springs - probably the only place he really feels welcome. 


Here's a story on his visit in the Gazette.

An excerpt:

"The chamber’s Stephannie Finley said McInnis won her group’s loyalty by his unwavering support of Army efforts to add 100,000 acres to the 235,000-acre PiƱon Canyon Maneuver Site, a Fort Carson training ground near Trinidad."
 
So, this writer's opinion is we all need to remember that Scott McInnis' law firm represents defense contractors and he sees dollars in his own pocket by supporting an expansion.  As Governor his loyalty is not and will not be with the people of Colorado as much as it is with those that feather his own nest.

Primary Republican ballot for Governor lists Dan Maes (who is against the expansion of Pinon Canyon) and Scott McInnis (who is for expansion).   Dan Maes has our vote.........
