Statement From Fort Collins City Attorney Carrie Daggett

Following is a statement from City Attorney Carrie Daggett:

"It is premature to comment until we have had a chance to review the Supreme Court's decision carefully and fully evaluate how it affects the City. These issues are complex, and we'll thoroughly examine the decisions relative to Fort Collins and Longmont. However, it is clear that the Supreme Court has found that the Fort Collins moratorium on hydraulic fracturing is in operational conflict with Colorado law and is therefore preempted."
