John Salazar (D?-Pueblo/Gunnison), brother of Colorado's semi-beloved, former Senator and current Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar, has been recently found to be aiding and abetting a land swap deal for one of the Koch Brothers up here in Colorado.
Locals don't like it. Partly because the recipient of the favors, Bill Koch, can't be trusted, and partly because Salazar is pushing this tricky land swap that veers far and wide of the normal process: [S]ome staffers at the Bureau of Land Management worry that Koch will be getting land with much higher value because of its potential for energy development. They also complain that there was very little opportunity for public input and scrutiny of the deal. There were no public hearings specifically devoted to gathering public comment, as there are with most proposed government land swaps.
"I'm not very pleased about it. It doesn't look like a very good deal for me or other people in this area," said Tony Prendergast, a former Forest Service ranger.

The old site had a number of diaries about our Blue Dogs, Betsy Markey and John Salazar. They both desreve our support and thanks for making Health Care Reform possible. Certainly, the teabaggers and our right wingers will try to drive them from Congress because of their votes. They need our thanks. ActBlue's site for each is at
http://www.actblue.com/directo...
John has raised $7387 there and Betsy, $247,761. They both need some help. Why not give them each what you can?
Some times we need to thank even those whom we sometimes oppose when they have helped the country, their constituents and all of us in Colorado.
