With the recent news that landowner Frank
Baumgartner bulldozed historic mining structures on Red Mountain
Pass, The Telegraph asked:
"What form of punishment should Baumgartner
endure in return?”
Chuck
“The county, state or the Historical
Society should have stepped in before he took the actions
that he did.”
Bob
“If
he violated laws, he should be prosecuted to the fullest
extent.”
Dave
“Don't
know much about it.”
Jake
“No opinion
one way or another. I’m not really into historical
structures.”
Alan
“He
is so old, it may not matter if he were to be punished.
What he did, though, was take away from future generations.”
