The latest CO River plan, for now, what’s behind this fall’s giant ballot, where is Colorado growing fastest?
Description
A new plan from the federal government spares Colorado from having to send more water to downstream states, at least for now, and that means some unhappy neighbors. Then, you will likely find more than a dozen statewide initiatives on your ballot this fall — why has that become such a popular avenue to make policy? Plus, Colorado’s overall growth rate has slowed, but some areas are still booming.
