Congressman Salazar Statement on Piņon Canyon
WASHINGTON, DC -
Congressman John Salazar released the
following statement today with regards to Piņon Canyon:
"Despite the misleading story in today's Denver Post, I will
never call a "truce" in the battle over protecting my constituents' private
property rights. No authorization exists to expand Piņon Canyon - period.
Congress has not authorized any expansion and, for the 3rd year in a
row at my request, has banned funds for expansion. You cannot have expansion
without authorization and funding - and I will oppose any effort to get either.
The fight to permanently end expansion may be a long one, however for as long as
I serve in Congress, I will fight any effort to advance an expansion of Piņon
Canyon."
