Old Colorado saying.
On the Colorado Ballot this election is Proposition
DD, a scheme to legalize sports betting with large taxes going to “Water
Projects”.
Discussing this with Sisty (whose
opinions I value, not that I agree with her) she brought up
GODDAMNDENVERWATERBOARD as spoken on Colorado’s Western Slope. They have been
stealing water for over a century.
A junior imitator, the City of Thornton,
has bought out over the years the water rights of farmers to the Cache La
Poudre River. All those farms were allowed to “dry up” and abandoned.
Thornton’s grand scheme has hit a
roadblock. They need to complete a pipeline in Larimer County. The county
commissioner have said, NO! They may have an option to build in Weld County. I
imagine the Weld Commissioners say, “Not only NO, but Hell NO!
The water wars will continue forever as
the Front Range population grows. Pass the popcorn!
As to Prop DD, my vote is No. Too vague,
and I don’t trust those (P)regressives currently dominating Colorado politics
not to pervert and misuse any new laws.
