Roeber’s actions will be guided by fairness

Dear Editor:

If you don't mind having a nuclear waste dump or carcass disposal site right next door, vote for Roger Bentley for District #3 Republican County Commissioner candidate. If a confined animal operation with 5,000 skunks next door won't bother you, vote for Roger Bentley.

If you believe there should be no protections against a neighbor harming your quality of life, property value, or health, then vote for Roger Bentley. If your vision for our county is for it to be like a Third World country, then please...vote for Roger Bentley.

Roger Bentley is a hardcore Libertarian who has chosen to fly the Republican Party flag in an attempt to get elected. He knows full well that he will not get elected wearing his true colors, so he's trying to fly under the electorate's radar as a Republican. I urge all voters in Delta County to see this charade for what it is. I further implore the voters of our county to select Mark Roeber as their Republican candidate for District #3 Delta County Commissioner.

Mr. Roeber's answers to questions by Mike Mason, answers that Mr. Mason found appalling (see Mike Mason letter to the editor May 30) offer solid evidence for some of the reasons I will vote for Mark Roeber. Mr. Roeber obviously does not agree with Mason's (and Bentley's) interpretation of the Colorado right to farm statute, nor do I. I believe Mr. Roeber is well aware of the land use regulations in Delta County...he simply doesn't share Mason's (and Bentley's) view of them, nor do I. I yearn for the days when our commissioners were not ideologically driven, but were guided in their decisions by a thorough understanding of our statutes and regulations, and had a great sense of fairness and right action. I believe Mark Roeber will move us back in that direction.
