Here is a report I found regarding the State of Colorado and the problem they recognize with the "Red Tape" in so many of its agencies. The MLRB & DRMS participated in the discussions and report.
The report is titled
"Cutting Red Tape in Colorado State Government"

Page 62 & 63 talk about the regulations and permitting process:
Re: CMLRB & CDRMS:

State agencies often propose complex rules with extremely short time frames and no prior consultation with industry. In other cases, the agencies create a constantly moving target by modifying the proposals after comments have been submitted without opportunity for adequate opportunity for additional comment. This raises costs unnecessarily and precludes the development of more sound proposals based on adequate consideration of the facts. Agencies need to provide sufficient time for public comment and engage (as they have done in many cases in the past) in informal outreach prior to initiating complex rulemaking proposals.

Also, regarding the MLRB,

Failure of regulatory bodies to adequately consider cost of compliance when adopting rules and regulations.

This is the problems recognized by the Colarodo Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
Sounds familiar, does it not?

The Governor is aware of the problem and the petition campaign probably put a more tangible face on the problem, specifically the POW mill and the plight of CGFIA.
