Washington Examiner: Both senators have supported keeping the agency based in Grand Junction, where it was moved last year, but Rep. Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican, said Friday that they “folded” instead of using their leverage to hold up President Biden’s nominees.
“The fight to keep the Bureau of Land Management in Grand Junction was always bipartisan, but when it came down to the wire, Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper folded and failed to stand up for Colorado by using procedural tools to leverage the Biden regime to keep the main Bureau of Land Management headquarters, Director, and senior leadership in Grand Junction,” Ms. Boebert said in a statement.

Colorado Republican Party chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown said that “Bennet and Hickenlooper are directly responsible for this loss.”
“Senator Bennet and Senator Hickenlooper have now failed Colorado twice — losing BOTH Space Command HQ and the Bureau of Land Management HQ,” said Ms. Brown. “It’s absolutely pathetic that Bennet and Hickenlooper have stood by, done nothing, and supported the Democrat nominees who made this anti-Colorado decision.”
