Lamborn contradictions

Contradictions:
Lamborn stated reason to keep Ritter from signing HB1317 was that 'without the state lands, an expanded Piñon Canyon would look a bit like Swiss cheese, making the expansion less attractive to the Army.'

Last week he said the Army said they could work around a few isolated parcels - if there were 'inholders' in property they want to acquire.

Let's see..... They can work around a few isolated parcels if it's private land but can't work around a few isolated parcels of State land?

So that must mean they are sure they can muscle a private landowner when that owner is separated from everyone else (like they did last time) but they apparently don't think they can deal with the legislature on taking State land if this bill goes through.

Please continue to write Governor Ritter and ask for his signature on HB1317 - it's obviously a big roadblock to the expansion and the Springs area representatives have just now figured that out. They are pressuring Mr. Ritter with political rhetoric and outright threats.

Lamborn said of the governor: "If he's OK with 1317 and we lose the new brigade combat team, then we're going to hang that around his neck." [Springs Gazette]

Didn't Gates say the brigade shouldn't/wouldn't be staffed? One of the areas he is going to cut back on.

And McInnis and Coffman act like they see blood in the water for 2010 elections opportunities - they probably ought to double check to make sure it isn't their own.
