Opinion: Squashing of public comment on CPW transparency

The Denver Gazette: Cory Gaines is a member of the Northeastern Junior College faculty and makes his home in rural Colorado. He’s not from agriculture, but he has an interest in it and his efforts to learn more are laudable. It’s not an easy task in a state where the ag industry is as diverse as in Colorado.

He is a periodic contributor to the opinion pages of various publications and runs the social media and Substack site, Colorado Accountability Project. He frequently offers logical, sound public comments on various bills and public board discussions. Last week he made time to offer public comment to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission regarding the wolf release that has garnered a fair share of criticism from stakeholders and commission members themselves.

I reported in The Fence Post Magazine that Gaines told the Commission he had serious concerns about the message sent to those affected and to taxpayers about how little transparency there appeared to be during the releases.
