Trump vetoes bipartisan bill to provide clean water to rural Southeastern Colorado
A plan to help local communities pay their share of the long-sought Arkansas River Valley conduit passed Congress with strong bipartisan support, but has still come up one vital signature short of becoming a reality.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday vetoed the “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act” despite its sponsorship by fellow Republicans and the significant benefits it would provide to southeastern Colorado, where his support runs deep. The conduit, which broke ground in 2023, will provide clean water for farming, factories and households. -snip
While Colorado intelligently voted for Harris in 2024, Southeast Colorado was and still is deep red Trump country. So they voted to keep drinking their high salt and irradiated water. Well played SE Colorado, poisoning yourselves to "own the libs".
