Polis blames ranchers for high cost of wolf restoration at CCI meeting
From TheFencePost.com:
The state of Colorado is facing a $1 billion deficit in the 2025-26 budget and as cuts are considered, Gov. Jared Polis placed the blame for the $5 million wolf restoration on ranchers.
Colorado Counties, Inc., is comprised of county commissioners from 63 of 64 counties, Denver being the exception. Gov. Polis spoke to the group at their meeting earlier this week and, when asked about pausing upcoming wolf releases until a more cost-effective route than sourcing from Canada could be identified, the governor pointed the finger at ranchers.
