In case you did not see this article in today’s Chieftain, here is the link (we realize many of you already have canceled your subscriptions so would not have seen this):

If you have time, go to the website of the National Resources Defense Council and see who is on their Board of Trustees…it is enlightening to say the least.
Now here is a copy of what we told the “reporter” Chris Woodka (copy of which went to Mr. Laut requesting he pass it on to Mr. Rawlings):
Mr. Woodka,
This is reporting? No. This is a “reporter” passing along propaganda via a press release from the Natural Resources Defense Council.
There was a time The Chieftain would have investigated this report, would have looked into who and what the NRDC is (did you even bother to look at their Board of Trustees much less tell Chieftain readers about them?) and reported the facts (along with the fact that IPCC has been exposed for multiple counts of fraudulent emails/data regarding “climate change.”) No, for some reason any information showing the other side of this NRDC press release was not given to the readers, so they are left with the impression of “Oh my God, Colorado’s agricultural water is being destroyed by climate change and we better get the government to tax carbon to fix it.”
This is reporting? No, this time Chris Woodka, Chieftain reporter, simply parrots a press release from a completely leftist (liberal) biased organization (NRDC) no questions asked. An organization that is 100% invested in seeing Cap and Trade (really cap and tax, crippling our economy, skyrocketing utility bills, lower quality of life for all Americans) legislation forced upon this nation. Not reporting this was shameful. There was a time that The Chieftain actually reported on the issues, exhibiting journalistic integrity and the search for truth. Sadly that time has passed. This will be the day we say goodbye to our Chieftain subscription of over 20+ years.
