Pinon Canyon Expansion Opposition Coalition gives McKinley A+

Pinon Canyon Expansion Opposition Coalition gives State Representative Wes McKinley an A+ rating

PCEOC gives Rep Wes McKinley, District 64, an A+ rating for his efforts to stop the Pinon Canyon expansion.  He is a candidate that has put his legislative efforts where his mouth is to keep Pinon Canyon from expanding.  

Wes has authored and co-sponsored two separate bills in the past 4 years specifically designed to stop the expansion from the state level.  He was successful in getting legislation passed that withdrew automatic approval of the use of eminent domain by the Feds and now requires them to come before the State Legislature for permission to do so.

He also co-sponsored legislation with Rep Sal Pace and Senator Ken Kester that prohibits the State of Colorado from selling or leasing any State owned lands for the purpose of expanding the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site. 

Wes McKinley thus has a proven track record on stopping the Pinon Canyon expansion. 

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 almost all of District 64 that Representative McKinley represents.
