Polis talks fires, housing and where Colorado stands on river negotiations with Western Slope audience

Colorado’s Governor fielded questions from residents in Grand Junction during a Colorado Matters event

There’s not much Gov. Jared Polis can say about ongoing negotiations over the Colorado River Compact, but he likes the cards his state is holding compared to the alternative. 

“It’s much better to be Colorado or Wyoming and Utah than it is to be Arizona or California, without a doubt, without a doubt,” Polis told Colorado Matters Senior Host Ryan Warner on Tuesday. “But yes, it’s a very perilous and legally fraught area, and we can continue to be strong and be tough and also be part of the solution.”
