Brock letter: Elect Gold

Miranda Gold (D14 Senate) will protect our health, water, air, property rights/values and roads from out-of-state corporations given a green light to drill and extract oil and gas from our community. Her opponent, Marv Hagedorn, endorses drilling under or near homes, farms, schools, rivers and roadways, placing the costs of production/destruction squarely on the backs of taxpayers, allowing earthquake-inducing injection wells for waste disposal and expediting permitting of chemical stimulation and fracking. Marv works for corporations that fund him. Miranda will answer only to us while preserving public lands, the school system and our future. Vote Gold.

Shelley Brock, Eagle
