November vote big for oil, gas firms Heavy hitters expected to jump in state fight on proposed oil, gas ballot initiatives

Signatures are being gathered across the state on several ballot initiatives that would limit oil and gas drilling in local communities or give governing bodies rights to curtail such activities within their borders. Many think this could easily be a $200 million election issue in Colorado this year.
Protesters gather in front of the Colorado Supreme Court Building to protest fracking before hearings on local communities and fracking in December 2015. After losing several rounds in court that would have allowed greater municipal and county rules on drillers, an effort to allow greater local regulation on drillers is underway by getting them on the ballot in November.
