County Court Resolutions Oppose Trapping And Handgun Controls
Colorado County commissioners approved two resolutions opposing federal fur trapping restrictions and handgun controls. Lawrance Hardison urged passage to protect landowners and predators, citing potential 60 to 70 percent fur harvest reductions and 25,000 animals trapped nationally last year. Barvey Lee argued against gun regulation, abstaining as others passed the measure 3-0, with notices sent to officials and lawmakers. Other actions included inventory efforts, utility agreement tweaks, and payment reports.
