From the Denver Post:
The City Council early Wednesday overturned a decision made earlier this year by Greeley’s planning commission to deny an oil and gas operator a permit to drill 22 wells near neighborhoods on the west side of town.
The 5-2 vote by the council, which came after six hours of testimony and impassioned public comment at a special meeting that began Tuesday evening, maintained Greeley’s consistent record of giving the green light to oil and gas extraction proposals that come before the city.
