Pausing wolves could save $2.1M as state faces shortfall
From TheFencePost.com:
According to reporting by Colorado Politics Chief Political Reporter Marianne Goodland, one of the cuts debated by the Joint Budget Committee to close a budget hole is the wolf reintroduction program. The shortfall was originally reported at $1 billion, and has since been lowered to $750 million, according to Legislative Council Staff and the Governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting. The issue is whether to fund the wolf reintroduction program in the 2025-26 budget year or save the $2.1 million in general fund dollars appropriated annually for the program.
