"Oil company's quiet deal with Land Grant sparks anger, internal mistrust"

"After news of a questionable buyout and controversial plans to drill for oil on the Tierra Amarilla Land Grant became public, oil man Jack Steinhauser stepped into the lion’s den.
He visited Tierra Amarilla July 13 and stood before a group of agitated and confused Land Grant heirs and attempted to explain his plans to drill on land that belonged to their ancestors, while also trying to clarify how a $233,000 payment that was intended for the entire Land Grant ended up in the hands of just three Board members — without the rest of the members’ knowledge.
The payment was in exchange for a 2008 legal promise, or waiver, by the Land Grant that none of the members would pursue a future claim to the oil Steinhauser and his company, Wind River Energy, are poised to extract from 93,000 acres in northern Rio Arriba County and southern Colorado." More>>>>
