You know it is amazing what they get away with down here. The only thing that might allow for this is the sparse population Idk. Lots of palm greasing
goes on down here anyway. We've got a whole other case pending concerning tributary waters and coalbed methane drilling. They've been bad boys for a
while but have bought local politicians.
The interstate job is overseen by CDOT. The trucks carrying radioactive waste congregate at a large truck stop and leave together first escorted by
county police then city. There's usually 2 or 3 trucks at one time and they parade their way right through town.
Small town, economically depressed, corrupt politicians not enough votes or voices. No we're like a "vein" occasionally tapped by corporate leeches
all scrambling around trying to get their share. Seems they keep dreaming up new ways to bleed cash & resources from this area.
Here's a link to one of the local papers
huerfanojournal.com... and an article about possible stimulus funds to be used another way
not sure what to think about this I don't really trust the local government to do right by the people we'll see...
WALSENBURG- Certified appraiser Ivor Hill came before the Walsenburg City Council Tuesday evening at Councilman Bruce Quintana’s behest to
outline a federal stimulus program called the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which basically allows for city governments to apply for
grant money to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes, fix them up, and sell them. The purpose is to (just like the name says) stabilize
neighborhoods with many empty homes in it.

I have NEVER heard of the feds approving diversion of interstate traffic entirely onto local streets. Frontage roads, maybe...
I'm sitting here not knowing what to make of that. Unless because it's stimulus money they have carte blanche. Thanks for your professional opinion
much appreciated.
