An oil and gas industry employee is challenging the validity of petitions seeking to ask voters whether to ban new oil and gas extraction in Lafayette.
Jon Hydeman of Lafayette says the petitions should be tossed because they didn’t include a legally required summary of proposed ballot language. His protest was announced Thursday by the Colorado Oil & Gas Association. The Daily Camera couldn’t reach Lafayette officials for comment Friday.
