Boebert Pushes Water Storage and Western Drought Solutions | 2021-05-21 | 2021 | 2021-05 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Representative Lauren Boebert spoke at the Committee on Natural Resources forum on western drought and is leading the way for creating solutions for western agricultural communities. Representative Lauren Boebert stated: “Environmental extremists and Washington bureaucrats are “waterboarding” the West with burdensome regulations and halting effective water storage projects. Instead of working for solutions to deliver water to western communities, they are drowning us with litigation and red tape. The most frustrating part about the drought crisis is that there are common sense solutions for it, but Democrats would rather focus on uprooting the entire country with their Green New Deal policies.” Background: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its U.S. Spring Outlook and predicted the most significant spring drought since 2013, impacting 74 million people. Almost the entirety of Colorado’s Third Congressional District is in danger of experiencing “exceptional drought,” and Rep. Boebert is working hard to create solutions by decreasing bureaucracy, getting rid of radical environmental water policies, and creating new water storage projects. Unfortunately, instead of working towards effective scientific solutions, Democrats would rather sit back and play the blame game, accusing climate change of creating the drought crisis. Instead of trying to make it better, they are making it worse. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:49:40Z |
