About the message:
This mailer supporting Question 301 in Broomfield says that children will suffer health consequences from living near oil and gas operations. The ballot initiative would require city officials to consider health, safety and welfare of residents when considering oil and gas development. Opponents of the initiative note that the photos used in the mailer are stock photos, not pictures from Broomfield. Researchers differ on health hazards posed by oil and gas development.
