An active opponent of oil and gas is being sued by the company that had BLM leases canceled in the Thompson Divide. The defendant claims that this is a SLAPP suit, a strategic lawsuit against public participation, intended to silence opponents of oil and gas development in the North Fork Valley. KDNK’s Raleigh Burleigh interviews Peter Kolbenschlag. More information about this case is available at: NorthForkActive.org.
