Big news for Red Rocks!

"Great news everyone! Red Rock's in the clear! No need to go to Feb. 8 meeting!
Thanks to YOUR public involvement and a SUPPORTIVE county commission, the developer has withdrawn his application for BOTH WAIVERS for Red Rock. There WILL NOT be a vote on February 8, 2012. We should thank the county commissioners as well. They always seem to have to hear our complaints, but now we have something to be grateful for."

Sounds like good news. Can anyone here explain what this means in the broader picture of the threat of development at the gypsum mine site?

As for the EA or EIS, it'll delay itself without our help... hehe. Look at the Wilderness Mgmt Plan - the area was designated in '02. 10 yrs later they hired someone to finish it, after removing all that controversial climbing stuff... Think about how long it can take if the public is not in support of...

May be the first time a member of the public has said that...
No shit, sir. I stand corrected on the E/W thing. I did not know that.

Big Jon - you get some cosmetic work done to the tip? Seems a little pointier now...
