WANTED GARCO MAN CAUGHT
Glenwood Springs/Arvada—The last time Michael Rosinski was in Garfield County he was barricaded in a home in Canyon Creek. When he returns he’ll be in handcuffs. The 38 year old man with over a half dozen felony warrants was taken into custody along with his wife by the Arvada Police Department. Rosinkski has managed to elude capture for nearly two weeks after somehow slipping away from an all-day standoff with the Garfield County All Hazards Response Team. Sheriff Lou Vallario says catching Roskinski required multi-agency cooperation. Rosinski allegedly assaulted a deputy and his wife had several arrest warrants as well.

ZINKE SAYS FEWER REGS WILL MAKE PUBLIC LANDS PRODUCTIVE
Whitefish, MT—Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke says removing bureaucratic obstacles to development on federal land can create jobs and offer hope to nearby communities. Zinke spoke Tuesday at the Western Governors’ Association annual meeting in his hometown of Whitefish, Montana, and hinted of major changes in store. Promising reorganization “on a scale of 100 years,” Zinke says the Interior Department and other land management agencies need to better cooperate. Zinke says right now, agencies that evaluate the same project often end up providing conflicting opinions. Zinke also called for more offshore drilling, which he says can provide more than enough revenue to offset an $11.5 billion maintenance backlog in national parks. Nada Culver with The Wilderness Society calls Zinke’s remarks a ploy to turn over public land to the oil, gas and coal industries.
