Rules of engagement Land-use hearings can frustrate residents, but officials have multiple factors to consider BY CATHERINE SWEENEY | CSWEENEY@GREELEYTRIBUNE.COM

or the past few years, residents such as Maydean Worley have stormed out of Greeley and Weld County hearing rooms. “We don’t have a democracy,” Worley yelled at the Weld County commissioners as she left a July meeting before it ended.

Extraction Oil and Gas proposed a well site near Bella Romero Academy’s 4-8 campus, near Cherry Avenue and 24th Street, east of Greeley. Dozens of residents turned out, some of them begging the commissioners to deny the project permission. Some of them cried. “This is madness,” another resident bellowed as he ended his speech. The commissioners unanimously approved the project. From oil and gas development to asphalt production, dozens of industrial projects dot the county, as Weld’s economy continues to rely on those industries to fill jobs and tax coffers. A few of them are located near neighborhoods, both

because the areas were valued by companies and because a huge population growth has put more people in Weld. Before the oil and gas boom, residents came to these hearings to fight apartment complexes and shopping centers because of traffic, light and noise. Now they’re fighting industrial projects for many of the same reasons, although now they also express fears about their health and safety. They yell, they cry and sometimes they beg. And almost every time, they lose.

BANNER HEALTH CYBERATTACK

Experts: Health care providers targeted more By Nate A. Miller nmiller@greeleytribune.com

The data breach that exposed personal information of as many as 3.7 million Banner Health customers — enough to rank it among the worst of its kind ever — illustrates the changing landscape of cybersecurity, experts say. Before last year, cyberattacks targeting health care providers were

relatively rare, and usually small in scope. Hacks of retailers, such as Target, dominated the news. That breach exposed the data of as many as 110 million customers. Last year, though, hackers began to pay more attention to health care providers and the records they keep. Anthem Inc. in Indiana suffered a breach that affected as 78 million people, the worst all time in the United States for health care pro-

viders. That same year, a hack of Premera Blue Cross in Washington affected 11 million people, and a hack of Excellus Health Plan Inc. in New York left 10 million people exposed, according to a database of health care related breaches maintained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These three attacks represent the largest breaches of health care providers ever.
