Should electors support Colorado Proposition 112 it would effectively eliminate the state's gas and oil industry and cripple the state's economy, state Rep. Jon Becker, R-Fort Morgan, and state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, said Friday in announcing their opposition to the measure. "It is too extreme for Colorado," Becker said.
He pointed out a map from a Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission analysis in July which indicates 85 percent of non-federal surface acreage in the state would become closed for gas and oil development should Proposition 112 be supported.
The ballot measure asks voters whether to support increasing the setback distance for new gas and oil development to at least 2,500 feet from any structure intended for human occupancy or other area designated by the measure, the state or local government.
Election Day is Nov. 6. Morgan County ballots will be mailed Oct. 15. "The map should speak for itself," Becker said. "Why would we shut down 80 to 90 percent of gas and oil development in the state?"
The existing setbacks require gas and oil development be at least 1,000 feet from high-occupancy buildings, such as schools and hospitals, 500 feet from occupied buildings, and 350 feet from outdoor areas such as playgrounds.
If approved by voters, 94 percent of non-federal surface area in the state's top five gas and oil producing counties would be closed to new development....read full article here
FORT WORTH: Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley always thinks locally.
But with his vocal opposition to Gov. Greg Abbott’s proposal to take away the ability of local governments to raise property taxes, Whitley is emerging as an alternative voice for Texas Republicans.
On Wednesday, during his annual State of the County address, Whitley called for the Fort Worth business community to embrace his fight. He asked members of the Fort Worth Chamber to call their elected representatives to say they want local elected officials — not state leaders — to determine tax rates.
“For the last 10 years, there has been an effort to take local decision-making out of the hands of local officials, and I don’t think that’s right,” Whitley told attendees at the Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth hotel. “The Legislature has tried to take a broad brush and paint every city, county and independent school district with that broad brush, and we just don’t fit that way.”
Abbott has said that, when the state Legislature convenes early next year, he will propose limiting local governments’ ability to raise property tax rates by more than 2.5 percent in a given year. Conservative groups such as Empower Texans are likely to pressure lawmakers to support that proposal.
Now in his 12th year as county judge, Whitley, a Republican, is increasingly becoming an advocate of overhauling government funding of health care and education.
He urged Tarrant County voters to approve an $800 million bond measure on the Nov. 6 ballot that would make it possible for the JPS Health Network, which is the brand name of the county’s hospital district, to expand its mental health, surgical and other services.
The hospital district, which would match the bond revenue with $300 million to $400 million in cash reserves, would build some of the new facilities near its existing campus south of downtown, but also would build several new neighborhood clinics.........Read full article by Gordon Dickson here
Jennings, of Thornton, a contractor by trade, volunteers in his spare time with the volunteer fire department, the ambulance squad and as a paramedic. “One of the reasons that I wanted to run for office is because we’re losing that volunteerism that we used to have,” he said. He wants to help revive that spirit.
The public schools are the foundation for a strong state and economy, he said, and unfortunately, recent statistics show that only 26 percent of fourth graders read at the fourth-grade level. Teachers need to be able to make their own decisions.
To get more money into the state budget, he said, we need to grow the economy and grow personal incomes. He would rather see production of our resources — wood and natural gas for example — here as finished products instead of exporting raw materials and buying them back as furniture and plastics.....Read entire article by David Beard here
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the 1st Annual KE Andrews school supply drive benefiting our adopted school, located in Rockwall ISD. The teachers were thrilled!
As many of you know, our school is a Title 1 school, which is a designation based on the number of low-income students who are considered at-risk for school achievement, and as such, many students flow in an out throughout the year. According to the Principal, last year over 70 students started school after Sept. 1, and NOT ONE had school supplies.
This year with your help, KE Andrews stocked the Teacher School Supply Closet so that all teachers could pull what they need for all students, without spending their own money to do so. Most of the journals have been handed out to students already!
Your generosity has given a child a sense of well being and confidence, ready to start their new school year prepared for success! THANK YOU!
The West Virginia oil and natural gas industry has been identified by some as a source to fund annual cost increases of $50 million for the Public Employees Insurance Agency.
In a recent commentary, Jay O’Neal, treasurer of the Kanawha County chapter of the West Virginia Education Association, wrote “there is plenty of money available to PEIA without hurting working West Virginians. It’s just a matter of priorities.”
Mr. O’Neal advocates an increase in the natural gas severance tax as a source to fund PEIA, as he believes revenue from the resource will continue to increase. Contrary to Mr. O’Neal’s statement, an increase in the natural gas severance tax would be certain to hurt working West Virginians, as well as the state itself.
Mr. O’Neal’s theory is easy to understand. Tax one of the fastest-growing and successful industries in the state because they won’t feel it, right? Wrong. In fact, taxing the resource that could be an economic game changer for the state of West Virginia is a surefire way to shoot us all in the foot.
West Virginia sits on top of the Marcellus and Utica shales, two of the largest oil and natural gas reserves in the world. We have exponentially increased natural gas production in this state over the past decade due to the advances in technology that allow us to reach vast reserves in these two shales.
However, West Virginia is not the only state on top of these shale plays. Pennsylvania and Ohio are, too, and they are drilling and producing more than we are, due to the industry-friendly climate in those states. In fact, Pennsylvania produced more than three times the amount of gas as West Virginia last year, with Ohio not too far behind them. Only recently did West Virginia pass mineral efficiency legislation, while our surrounding states have had such laws in place for years. Read full article by Anne Blankenship here...
