Jerry Dahl at EC Planning Comm 1_26_2012.wmv<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nIt is reasonable to conclude from his remarks that Mr. Dahl is promoting a county \u201cright\u201d to further regulate oil and gas development, and that he foresees the need for the county to litigate the question.<\/p>\n
As an attorney Mr. Dahl represents his client\u2019s interest, and the client is Richard Miller, the director of the Community and Development Services Department.\u00a0 Mr. Miller introduced Mr. Dahl and it is fair to conclude that Mr. Dahl accurately represented Mr. Miller\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n
So, the director of planning wants to regulate oil and gas development at the county level, and he\u2019s hired an adversarial attorney who shares that interest.<\/p>\n
And who are the people to be regulated by these forces?\u00a0 You and me.\u00a0 The county has an attorney sworn to zealously defend their interest, because all attorneys take an oath to zealously defend their clients\u2019 interests, against you and me.<\/p>\n
Should our tax money be used to fund an adversarial legal process that is aimed at us?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jerry Dahl, an attorney employed by the Elbert County Community and Development Services Department, advises the public about his stance on county oil and gas regulation, at the Planning Commission meeting last night, 1\/26\/2012.
