Subject: Senator Allard & CSU - Chuck & Roni Sylvester
It’s terrific that Senator Wayne Allard is showing interest in the position of President of Colorado State University.
His eager submission of application and lining up with other qualified candidates for the interview, shows his agreeable willingness to follow the great American way of protocol.
Perhaps if accepted by the CSU Board of Governors, he’ll be able to convince The Nature Conservancy to return some of the millions of dollars he secured for them (To partner with the U.S. Army in purchasing land in South East Colorado.).
It is our understanding that because the Army indicated they’d exercise eminent domain, TNC withdrew their co-partner capacity, leaving them with several million of those dollars un-used.
Since the TNC was the recipient of tax-payer dollars anyway, it’d be totally acceptable if they returned it to us via educating our young at Colorado State University.
Or, while he’s still our U.S. Senator, he could persuade TNC to do that... regardless.
