“I recall a sign that actually stated the reservoir could be built as soon as 2009,” Wiebe said.
That would not be the case — not in the face of lengthy permitting and litigation against Chimney Hollow Reservoir, to be a smaller neighbor of Carter Lake and divert Colorado River water for the northern Front Range’s growing populations. In 2021, environmental groups and Northern Water settled a $15 million lawsuit.

They also consider any opposing views or opinions to be dissent that must be squashed at all costs, even if it means forcibly gagging their opposition by disallowing all debate. This is not exactly an overflow of reasoned debate, which we would like to encourage amongst our lawmakers.
