Yesterday's Denver Post had an interview with Army Secretary Pete Geren, as he visited Fort Carson yesterday (hmm - coincidental it's at the same time that HB1317 is on the Governor's desk?).
Part of his statement included:
He also reiterated the Army's determination to pursue an expansion of its Piñon Canyon training ground in southern Colorado and said he does not believe that effort violates a congressional moratorium on acquiring more land.
"The expansion of Piñon Canyon is part of our long-range plans," he said. That plan includes land acquisition "that meets the Army's needs and is acceptable and can be embraced by the landowners" in the area.
"If the Congress were to foreclose that as an option, that would be unfortunate."
