Re: “Close UP”
Fracking just doesn't sound like a good idea. Putting the water supply at risk in a place where water is so precious? Really? Pollution, heavy equipment, and a large company whose only interest is to evade the rules and make money? And where would the money go -- into the CEO's pocket ($40-something-million per year?) or into the local coffers? My impression is that the concept of stewardship of the land is just lip service on Ultra's web site. I think Ultra's modus operandi is dupe the little guy and leave him holding the bag.

Re: “Government-killer coming to town”
This is the guy who wants to drown government in the bathtub.
Which begs the question, why aren't Haiti and Somalia utopian paradises?

Re: “We 'won't let you down'”
What would it take for Colorado Springs to have a full-time mayor? Some sort of ballot initiative? I think we're big enough to merit a full-timer.

Re: “We fight, or you'll lose”
Mayor Bach doesn't understand the role of the fourth estate in democracy, and cannot grasp that his job is to serve the people. He just doesn't get it. What's the saying? "You get the government you deserve."
