Abstract
Politics are local, so good policy must be deeply rooted in local context, be precisely written, acknowledge the need to be flexible or adaptable over time, and have a realistic chance of meeting its objectives. Hopefully, it also does not provide bad precedent for other jurisdictions. The oil and gas setback proposition now in front of voters in Colorado does not meet these basic tenets.
