Moffat County Feeling Positive About Presidential Election

by | Nov 15, 2016 | News | 0 comments


With voter turnout in Moffat County overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump for President, many in the western Colorado coal towns are feeling positive that their way of life now has a fighting chance. Moffat County Commissioner John Kinkaid says that his hope is that once in office, Trump will follow through on the promises on his website to review all anti-coal regulations and rescind the moratorium. Kinkaid stated that he hopes Trump will “be very thoughtful but aggressive as well at scaling back government overregulation and government overreach.” It is widely felt by Trump supporters that a move towards small government will return jobs to miners and oilfield works and result in a hopeful turnaround for economies throughout the region.
