Boulder - Remember that unsuccessful attempt in the legislature to toughen penalties for vandalizing oil and gas equipment? Child’s play.
It turns out the author of a letter to the editor in Boulder’s Daily Camera that got a national media mention last week — for appearing to endorse outright violence against fracking operations — is the author of a pending statewide ballot issue to hike Colorado’s severance tax on oil and gas production.
Reached by phone today, Andrew O’Connor, of Lafayette, unapologetically reiterated his hardline stance ...
“I wouldn’t have a problem with a sniper shooting one of the workers” at a drilling site, O’Connor said, noting that he is not threatening violence himself or calling on anyone to engage in it.

O’Connor also touted his severance tax ballot issue, whose title was approved by the state earlier this month. Its backers can begin petitioning for enough voters’ signatures to land the measure on the fall ballot.
The proposal doubles the state’s statutory 2 percent-to-5 percent tax rate on oil and gas production to up to 10 percent.

I bet he would love to see the oil fields go up as in TULSA (1949) and HELLFIGHTERS (1968.
Meanwhile, NW and SE New Mexico are still very stable as they have been drilling and fracking there for the last seventy years.
Then again, we can go back and do it like Project Gasbuggy and frack with nukes.
