4/17/2012 Dear Mr. Stallings, I am writing this to let you know how disturbed I am with the GEC & SGI settlement involving land around (East of) Paonia, Colorado. I hadn’t known that not only is this “settlement” a pittance but that the Gas Companies still owned the leases in question. Kind of like letting robbers keep the jewelry. I would like to see at the least a “new” supervised lease sale and preferably without the participation of these offending companies. Thank you for your consideration in this. Rudin, R. Box 1607, Paonia, CO 81428.
