Peg Littleton: Won county funds for bicycle paths and open spaces

As county commissioner for Colorado Springs, I fought for and won the battle to allow wind farms in appropriate rural areas of Colorado's most populous county. I did so because the market should be free to create sustainable sources of energy. I have fought for and won a battle to use excess tax revenue funds to sustain and improve parks, trails, bicycle paths and open spaces to protect wildlife and natural areas from urban sprawl.

Tim Neville: Scale back economy-crushing EPA regulations

Picking winners and losers and overregulation ends up raising energy costs, having a negative impact on hard working families, with the hardest hit being the poor. The EPA has dumped pollutants into Colorado rivers, and their war on proven energy sources like oil, gas and coal kills jobs and cripples entire communities. As your U.S. Senator, I will work to scale back the federal government and abolish the out-of-control EPA and repeal its economy-crushing regulations.

Darryl Glenn: Re-open New Santa Fe Trail through US Air Force Academy

The US Air Force Academy and El Paso County have reached an agreement on an easement renewal for the New Santa Fe Trail, raising hopes that the 7-mile section of the trail through the academy could reopen next year. El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn, an Air Force Academy graduate who represents the district that includes the academy, said "it's not realistic to think we could get [the trail] open in 2015 with putting together a plan, getting it vetted and approved, because there are less than 3 months left in the year." He said he received an email from the academy's superintendent that the academy was "committed to working with us to get the trail open."

The county's 26-year-old easement for the popular would have expired later this year, and the easement renewal means that the county and academy can develop a plan that will get the trail reopened. Glenn made his comments at a community meeting about the trail attended by more than 80 people that included trail users and trail advocates.
