Trump vetoes Boebert's bill on the Arkansas Valley Conduit

Those counties can float bonds to build that pipeline. They will repay those loans just like everyone else who borrows to build big projects. If it pencils out, they will have no problem getting a loan or selling a bond. If not, then not.

I guess Trump figured why should some poor schlub in Georgia pay for what amounts to a local water project in CO that has failed to launch for the last 75 years.

I guess Representative SugarTits couldn't run the ball to the goal line. She must have forgot that he needs a $2MM check to consider anything.

It was approved by voice vote (supposedly unanimously) so she should not have any trouble getting getting the 2/3rds majority to override.....Right?

The subject is he is a petty little man who is butthurt because Boebert voted to release the Epstein files.

That project is in an area of Colorado that voted for Trump.

I'm sure it will work out well for him.

Water isn't important for development. Bike paths and flower gardens in the middle of residential intersections are what is needed.

I'm sure that was not the intent at first (75 years ago) but you can believe that's the intent now.....And they expect the rest of us to pay for it.

Get water to an area out west now and you can believe it will be developed for leftists moving from CA, not for farmers.

Industry needs lots of water to make widgets and other shiny things.

Um, "at first" was sixty-three years ago.

But, There was only a ceremonial groundbreaking in October, 2020. But that time, a quarter billion dollars had already been spent on it. April 28, 2023, sixty-one years after passage, construction begins. I don't know. Can't find out how far it has gotten, they say it will still be two years before the first few towns closest to the Pueblo reservoir get any water. Ten years before it is completed. And who knows where this country is going to be then? They'll have mosques all over by then if we're not careful. And a 30" pipeline? To run a hundred miles? Small sized cities use 12" pipe to keep water flow in them.

LOL.....You could damn near truck water to them cheaper.

Just like all western water schemes I bet the land that stands to gain the benefit has changed hands with development in mind.

 

[teddyearp]

Yeah, after 63 years to just break ground, it's almost like Cali's train to nowhere. By the time they get it built, that 30" may not be enough after all the Cali's move there for cheap land and drive up the prices, just like everywhere else.

Interesting first use of a veto.

Hopefully he's warming up the veto pen.

Congress needs a serious "**** you". They like to spend my money and that's not why they're there

If this was an oil company involved, they would already have four them built coast to coast.

In another 10 years, you are going to find out water is 1000 times more valuable a resource than oil will ever be.

The logistics and design of such a project can be done to fit the need. The backers of that project will have a friendly administration in another 3 years, and along with all of the renewable energy projects the orange pedo has shut down, after getting his $1 billion bribe from big oil. It will get started again, and big oil will be the ones paying for it, after all of their subsidy money is redirected.

Lol, she would look good on a stripper pole. Likely where she actually belongs.

“President Trump decided to veto a completely non-controversial, bipartisan bill that passed both the House and Senate unanimously. If this administration wants to make its legacy blocking projects that deliver water to rural Americans; that’s on them,” Boebert said in a statement to local outlet 9News.

She added that she hopes “this veto has nothing to do with political retaliation for calling out corruption and demanding accountability. Americans deserve leadership that puts people over politics.”

If it starves the filthy commie dem Colorado pigs of water...I'm all for it!

Happy to see a bunch of Trump voters getting screwed by stupidly voting for Trump

I guess there's only one way to find out....Let's see if Trump has the "lame duck" status that some claim and go for a veto override.
