Western Slope water and Southeastern/Eastern Plains - all on McInnis' chopping block?

More terrifying threats from McInnis as reflected in the Montrose Daily Press:


"McInnis vows his first trip after he’s elected governor will be to the Pentagon to tell its leadership that Colorado is back in play and wants to expand on its established military environment, which includes a number of installations besides the obvious ones most know in Colorado Springs."

Besides condemning all of us in the southeast, and the thousands of jobs we support, McInnis will undoubtedly also be going after Western Slope water and agriculture as well.  Urban areas that McInnis wants to see grow on the Front Range are pushing just that already.


From the Pueblo Chieftain article 'Gunnison: Should state study drying up cities?':
Front range group "has urged the state to look at drying up Western Slope agriculture as a strategy [for water supply] along with Eastern Plains reduction in farmland"
and
"Gunnison turned that around, saying the state is hardly looking at the real problem:  Increased urban demand" .

Along with the attitude that the Southeast corner of the state is apparently completely unimportant, if McInnis is elected we now know we also run the risk of losing all of our state's agriculture.  East and West.

Got Food?
