Summary
The historic drought is putting pressure on the water supplies for cities and towns across the West. In Kremmling, those problems have been compounded by broken infrastructure and back-of-the-line water rights. Then, Colorado may have dodged the cyclosporiasis bullet, but salmonella-tainted jalapenos did trouble some restaurant-eaters last month. And we look back to a wild story of voter fraud, and the time Colorado went through three governors in one day. Email us at [email protected] . Colorado Today is supported by CPR’s members .
