You don't think my forefathers paid the taxes that funded the reservoirs? How can you say the Colorado reservoirs were a waste of tax dollars and are unsustainable? The water projects in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and California have created a tremendous amount of fertile and habitable land. Without these reservoirs the Front Range would be empty. Weld County is one of the largest agricultural producers in the United States and this would not be the case without the water from the mountains. Many of these projects have existed for nearly 100 years and are still supplying water to Front Range communities.

The Army core of Engineers built the reservoirs, not your forefathers. All built with taxes. They should have never been built. It was a big waste of tax dollars, and it's entirely unsustainable. We still pay to this day so you can pretend you are a pioneer.and that you are against wasting tax money. Yeah, right. you seem fine with wasting other peoples tax money. You are a hypocrite, IMHO.
