The fact that Montrose County has implement eel such regulations should, at the very least, imply <br />that we, Montrose County Citizens, detect a rather sever problem with, not only United's existence here, but <br />also that there is a very widely held view that heauty, Clean air and water are very prohahly more important <br />than economic expansion which severely and adversely impacts these necessities for meaningful human enjoyment of <br />life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. <br />1 am enclosing a copy of a letter, regarding this issue, which I sent to fovernnr Romer, with copy to Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. <br />Ve ry pt--r~u~hy y((o~~u rs ~~'" "L" V y l <br />V Y-v`\ J c <br />Jerome L Shain <br />
