Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission staff members held a meeting Wednesday, May 15, 2019, in Denver to hear public comment on the first rule changes under a new law that makes protecting the public and the environment the top priorities of regulators. Environmentalists and community activists asked the commission to stop issuing drilling permits until the new rules are complete. They also urged tougher rules and demanded a bigger role for the public. Industry representatives asked a few questions or declined to speak. (AP Photo/Dan Elliott)
