Cotter denies it — their typical spin method — but with contamination 1,000 times the norm, and the contaminated Schwartzwalder Mine nearby, what other conclusion could be drawn? They've used the same "denial" spin about golf course contamination in Canon City coming from natural uranium. The public doesn't know about other issues, such as: high thorium near the golf course that has been known about since 1994, but not cleaned up; shuffling of executives so that they can claim there has been a "turnover" of staff; an ore pad emitting high gamma that has been noticed three times, but never given a violation; approximately two-thirds of the 99 violations were for endangering their employees . . . No more denial. Pass HB 1348 — which won't shut them down — but will make them clean up their act. Robert and Linda Leck Leck Construction Inc. Canon City
