Betsy Markey earns A rating for legislating against expansion

Pinon Canyon Expansion Opposition Coalition gives Congresswoman Betsy Markey an A rating

PCEOC has given Betsy Markey an A rating for her efforts to stop the Pinon Canyon expansion.  She is a candidate that has put her congressional votes and legislative efforts where her mouth is to keep Pinon Canyon from expanding.  

Betsy Markey co-sponsored and pushed for legislation that included the ban on funding for any expansion of Pinon Canyon.  She thus has a proven track record on stopping the Pinon Canyon expansion.  The only thing that keeps the expansion from happening at this point is the congressional funding ban that Congressman John Salazar and Betsy Markey have worked to get renewed each year. 

The future of southeastern Colorado hangs in the balance – we survive if Pinon Canyon isn’t expanded – we are eliminated if it does.  That includes a large part of the 4th Congressional District that Congresswoman Markey represents.

Let's all ignore her vote on ObamaCare and support her because of her efforts on Pinon Canyon. Ridiculous! Hasn't the Republican candidate also indicated his support of the ranchers? Why is this group endorsing candidates? Are they not a 501(c)(3)?

PCEOC has rated those legislators that have actually presented/worked to get legislation passed against the expansion. Marilyn Musgrave would also be one that would have a very positive rating if she were still in office. We hope that persons making determinations on their choice of candidate are taking all this into consideration. Should Mr. Gardner be elected and present legislation against expansion we will likely rate him with an A or A+ too! PCEOC is a not for profit organization but is not a charitable organization and is not designated as such with the IRS. PCEOC pays taxes on items purchased etc..
