ELBERT TOLL ROAD WARRIOR MEETING
This evening over 200 Elbert County residents attended the TR Warrior meeting at the Exhibition Hall in Kiowa, CO. The High Plains Coalition For Responsible Transportation Policy sponsored the event. This was yet just another in a series of meetings taking place up and down the Super Slab corridor to inform parcel owners of their options and rights.
Tollman was the mc for the evening. I got to introduce quite a few familiar faces to the crowd. The following people spoke briefly to the audience about their position on the proposed Super Slab project. Since our coalition is non-partisan, and this issue has nothing to do with red, blue, or purple, the speakers steered clear of campaigning. A gracious thank you to all who took time from extremely hectic schedules to spend a couple of hours with us.
Sheriff Bill Frangis (Elbert, CO)
Brian D. Weiss (candidate for Sheriff, Elbert, CO)
Commissioner John Metli (Elbert, CO)
Dale Goetz (candidate for Commissioner, Elbert, CO)
Representative Debbie Stafford (HD40)
Matt Bryant (candidate, HD40)
Senator Greg Brophy (SD01)
Jim Bowen (candidate SD01)
After our guests spoke of their involvement and/or commitment to protecting Elbert County from the Super Slab, Robert Thomasson gave a very brief summary of the history of the Front Range Toll Road Company. Then Rick Brown addressed the registered letters the Super Slabbers sent out and the legislations that has been passed to protect property owners. The end of the meeting was focused on what citizens can do and how they can become part of the solution.
Many, many people found their parcel numbers and filled out the form letter to CDOT with their intent to not sell their property. Those same folks filled out their letters to the Transportation Commission to be put on their mailing list for notification of meetings. We got three pages of e-mails to add to our TR Warrior E-Mail Update list. Quite a few residents stayed afterwards to get questions answered, and it seemed that everyone left with a bit more hope and determination than they came in with.
John and Shellane Dorman manned the merchandise table and did an outstanding job selling t-shirts, hats and Not For Sale yard signs. If anyone is interest in purchasing one of our 'No Super Slab' t-shirts or hats, or Toll Road Warrior hats or t-shirts, please contact John Dorman @ hpcrtp@yahoo.com.
There are more meetings scheduled along the corridor in the coming days. Please check the schedule on stupidslab.com or nosuperslab.org for the most current information regarding dates, locations, and times.
Thank you to all Elbert residents who came to the meeting tonight. We hope that we inspired you to become involved and to help preserve not only your land and dreams but also, in the process, those of your neighbors and friends. We're all in this together. Don't forget it.
