Colo. Lawmakers nix delay of new oil, gas rules
A state legislative committee Tuesday rejected a proposed one-year delay of Colorado rules that require more input on the environmental and health consequences of oil and gas development.
Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, proposed the moratorium on the new regulations, which he warned are costing the state jobs and tax revenue. He said he sponsored the bill “strictly to protect the economy in the state of Colorado.”
