Let the sun shine through on issue of climate change
Dear Sen. Renfroe,
It’d be terrific if you’d help Rep. Tyler host “scientists whose findings reveal the sun/ocean — a.k.a. Mother Nature — makes climate change,” at a seminar at the capitol.
In respect to SB11-O50, please make available copies of the following information from Jesse Richardson and Ric Frost for your colleagues. Their information, plus the fact that said condemnation would be yet another threat to Colorado’s agricultural providers (property owners) should shore up reasons enough as to why SB11-050 should be killed.
Thank you Scott.

GOP Chair Wadhams should also have vetted cash-strapped Gessler
Dear Editor, As a conservative Republican myself who voted for Scott Gessler, I am mystified why, if he couldn’t afford to take the position, that he ran for Colorado Secretary of State.
