Bi-partison support to stop the expansion

With the Governor recently advising he will sign HB1317, there is significant reason for celebrating - we need to reasonably cautious too though. Even with the tremendous and enduring support of a vast majority of all our legislators the Army and local Colorado Springs area legislators have increased their rhetoric expounding on the loss of the training site expansion.


The suggestions however that this is a partisan issue are completely false as efforts to oppose the expansion has been completely non-partisan as shown by the number of all legislators voting against funding. Party affiliation is not a factor in the true opposition to the expansion of PCMS. Examples of the bi-partisan backing includes former Representative Marilyn Musgrave and her position as an outstanding champion for private property rights and agriculture and the Pinon Canyon opposition; Colorado legislator support (all affiliations) for HB 1317 and previously for HB1069 in 2007; the entire rest of the state of Colorado outside of the Fort Carson area; the US Congress and the US Senate votes on spending bans against the expansion; need we say more?
