• Erie Council Approves Redtail Ranch Settlement in 4–3 Vote (yellowscene.com) — Erie’s Town Council narrowly approved a Redtail Ranch settlement 4–3, clearing the way for a major residential development while allowing six wells to be plugged and abandoned but leaving many active wells in place. The decision followed hours of public comment over environmental risks, health and safety standards, and the town’s legal exposure, and it sets the framework for future approvals before construction begins.
