CO Towns and Counties in Boebert's District Pass Resolutions Supporting Biden's Oil and Gas Pause

Across Colorado towns and counties are passing resolutions supporting President Joe Biden’s executive order to indefinitely pause new oil and gas leases on federal public lands.

Biden’s moratorium, signed in January, was praised by environmental advocacy groups but lambasted by the oil and gas industry and by Republicans. In March, Wyoming announced that it was suing the Biden administration, while in April U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made several efforts to revoke the ban, panning it as harmful to the U.S. economy and U.S. efforts to achieve energy independence.

In a press release after Biden signed the order, Boebert released a statement criticizing the Biden administration.
