"It makes one
wonder why a public official made certain decisions, especially ones that
benefited certain interests, when just days, months or years later they take a
lucrative job lobbying for the same interests."
Houpt expects energy industry opposition in 2010 Garfield County election
By David O. Williams, The Colorado Independent,

GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Garfield County Commissioner Trési Houpt says she will run again in 2010 despite what she expects will be a double target on her back because she’s the lone Democrat on the board and she also serves on the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC).
Houpt has a reputation for bucking her Republican counterparts on the three-member county commission when it comes to the environment versus the oil and gas industry, and as a member of the COGCC she helped draft the most stringent drilling regulations in the nation — a political issue already shaping the 2010 election on the state level.
