In case you missed the Post's lead editorial yesterday:

Gov. Bill Owens needs to heed the growing criticism of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. Owens and DNR executive director Greg Walcher have dismissed the legitimate concerns about how our state manages wildlife as mere bellyaching from bureaucrats. The worries, though, involve valid points about the heavy-handed, pro-development stance DNR has pushed since Owens took office.

After you read about Walcher's long trail of tears, you'll be amazed that he considers himself a shoo-in to succeed McInnis on the Western Slope...

And this:

Gov. Owens must explain to Coloradans why the needs of our state's cherished wildlife have been shoved aside to benefit extreme off-road vehicle use, rampant development and other narrow special interests.

Wait, wait (hands raised, waving wildly); we know! We know! IT'S BECAUSE HIS AMBITIONS ARE CAPTIVE TO THOSE SPECIAL INTERESTS!
