A bill introduced Thursday by Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., proposes to protect the federally owned land east of the Arkansas River, between Nathrop and Salida, as Browns Canyon Wilderness.
If that smacks of deju vu, it is because an almost identical bill was scuttled in 2006 by opponents in Washington - notably at the behest of high officials who speak for the National Rifle Association.
