Ritter Refuses To Address Pinon Canyon Expansion In Colorado Springs

Gov. Bill Ritter touted his administration's support of troops and veterans on a swing through Colorado Springs on Wednesday. But he also dodged questions about one of most vexing issues on the military front in Colorado: expanding the Army's Piñon Canyon training area near Trinidad.

At a construction site on Fort Carson, the state's largest military post, Ritter signed a proclamation extolling the virtues of the national nonprofit Helmets to Hardhats, which links veterans with union construction jobs.
