John Rebchook is a former Rocky Mountain News reporter with more than 30 years of experience in writing and communications... Billionaire William Koch, founder and president of the Oxbow Group, an energy company, wants to swap land with the federal government in order to take control of a road that cuts into his 4,500-acre ranch in western Colorado, according to an article in today’s Wall Street Journal, Land Swap Triggers Colorado Dustup.
Hikers and hunters use the road to reach federal land, but sometimes stray on to Koch’s land, according to the article. Rep. John Salazar supports the request, which would give the government some pristine property.
