- Tom Carter: McCain’s Western water policy is wrong
- August 23, 2008
Imagine if there was less water available for raising Northwestern Colorado’s cattle and sheep. The added costs to Colorado agriculture for feed and water would be an additional tax on Colorado’s ranchers, farmers and consumers. Yet, a few days ago, John McCain said that the water-sharing compact that Colorado and other upper basin states have with California, Nevada and Arizona should be “renegotiated” - to provide more water to Arizona and California. Apparently, McCain is more concerned about the golf courses and swimming pools of Arizona than he is about Colorado. McCain’s policies will hurt Colorado. Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar, a water law expert, responded to McCain’s proposal to give away Colorado’s water by saying the compact would be reopened “over my dead body.”
