As many of you know, major oil interests have descended upon Longmont to take advantage of the hydrolic fracturing (fracking) “opportunities” available thanks to mineral rights below and adjacent to Union Reservoir. On Tuesday, November 15, a large group of concerned, passionate citizens presented their concerns to Longmont’s City Council. As large as this group of citizens is, it is not nearly large enough to fight the moneyed, big oil interests.
