Missing in action: Aurora Council unfazed by Frazier’s poor attendance

By | 08.18.10 | 6:39 am

Maybe 7th Congressional District GOP nominee Ryan Frazier is just a busy guy.

Aurora may not have right to sell water to Nestle

Last year, the city of Aurora made a deal to lease 65 million gallons of water to Nestle. In making the deal, the city council moved against the city’s culture of water conservation, bypassed the Aurora Citizen Water Committee, alienated one of the city’s vital water partners, the Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District, and also may have violated the terms of its rights to Arkansas Basin water–all for a mere $160,000 per year, a fraction of the profits Nestle will reap from bottling the water and selling it across the mountain west and beyond.

In CD7, Perlmutter, Frazier wage another battle over energy policy

By | 06.07.10 | 10:43 am

The top candidates for Colorado’s Seventh Congressional District are facing off on energy policy and jobs, the debate breaking along predictable lines. Democratic Congressman Ed Perlmutter is a longtime advocate for renewable energy development, which he sees as an essential part of the drive toward national energy independence. He has supported so-called cap-and-trade legislation that would tax carbon as a way to move the country toward cleaner renewable fuels. Perlmutter’s main GOP rival, Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier, calls Perlmutter’s stance limiting and told the Colorado Independent that he is for an “all of the above” national energy policy that includes opposition to cap and trade and an embrace of oil and coal as well as alternative nuclear and renewable power.
