Joel Hefley: “The owners in San Francisco want to sell; the owners in Colorado do not. The controlling owners think it is a great…”

On the recordOctober 24, 2000
The owners in San Francisco want to sell; the owners in Colorado do not. The controlling owners think it is a great proposal. The end holders think it is a great proposal; they support it. The people of the valley think it is a great proposal. I replaced it with $80-some-thousand, and it has an inflationary type of clause in it. It is not exactly stuck with inflation, but it goes up, that we will increase that amount every year. We have done everything we can to appease those people, but what I think is the most important... is this process that we are talking about. I agree with the gentleman on Steamtown... but I think everybody... who has taken a look at this, the Sand Dunes say, gosh, this ought to be preserved for all future of America. We ought to expand on this and make it a national park.
