"I love Colorado, and my first job was on a farm in Nebraska where my grandfather raised corn and cattle."

"I strongly support efforts like this, which of course in no way supplant the need for tough rules governing operations and technological specs."

"I would certainly be the first to be supportive of Federal level legislation."
