Maes Has Zero Understanding of Water

Gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes (R) is either seriously math challenged, crazy or a big fat liar.

Recently he spoke to the Colorado Water Congress and said:

He would support new reservoirs to keep Colorado water in state.

and

“I have a pretty simple policy on water so far: If it starts in Colorado, it’s our water,” Maes said.

He wants to cut taxes and the state is already facing budget shortfalls that require cuts, and yet Maes has a magic source of funding to build “new reservoirs.”

It does not add up.

Further, he is flat wrong on the law. Water that starts here is sometimes Colorado’s, sometimes it’s committed to our downstream neighbors.

So which is it? Is he lying, crazy or just so math challenged that he cannot see that adding expense and cutting revenues does not work?

And other than being flat out, idiotically wrong, how does he propose to change the water agreements in place and federal so that water that starts in Colroado is our water.?
