Martz was a father of natural resource law in the United States. He was an exemplary teacher, mentor, counselor, advocate, and a professor of natural resources law for 15 years at Colorado Law. Professor Martz was one of the founders of the Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation and of the Law School’s Natural Resources Law Center, which later became the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment. In 1951, he assembled and published the first natural resources law casebook, combining the previously discrete subjects of water law, mining law, and oil and gas law. In 1962, Professor Martz joined the law firm of Davis Graham & Stubbs. During his tenure at Davis, Graham & Stubbs, he took periodic leaves of absence to serve as the Assistant Attorney General of the Lands and Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (1967- 69), a Colorado Special Assistant Attorney General (1971-75), and as the Solicitor of the Department of the Interior (1980-81). He retired from the firm in the late 1990s and passed away in 2010 at the age of 89.

    #634 9/12/20 To Whom It May Concern I do not support the move from healthcare.gov to a privatized enrollment system that relies on for-profit insurance companies who will not act in my best interest. I support a Georgia reinsurance program because it will help lower premiums. Thank you very much. JD Sincerely, JD Atlanta, GA 30305 #635 9/12/20 To Whom It May Concern I do not support the move from healthcare.gov to a privatized enrollment system that relies on for-profit insurance companies who will not act in my best interest. Health care should be a right, and not be treated like a commodity dictated by the free market. The proposed system will perpetuate existing racist systems designed to keep people of color uninsured.
