The ranchers, sportsmen, outdoor enthusiasts, and elected officials who live in those communities feel that speculative leases in the Divide jeopardize their local economies. Today's announcement is a significant step towards addressing those concerns," Bennet said. "In the upcoming weeks and months, we will continue to work with community members and industry to determine whether a legislative compromise can permanently protect the Thompson Divide and provide market-based compensation for those who have just had their leases canceled." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
