Letters: Protesting gun violence at Colorado, Tennessee capitols — disruptive or democracy in action?

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:42:08 GMT

Legislators need to be able to get work doneRe: “Inquiry sought on student’s removal,” April 7 news storyMuch as I might agree with the message of the anti-gun students in the Colorado Capitol gallery, they nor anyone else should not be allowed to disrupt the legislative session. Would my fellow Democrats be so understanding if passionate, screaming, pro-gun demonstrators did the same?The protesters were not arrested, not injured, and not barred from the Capitol grounds. State patrol was there to provide necessary and measured security, and that was exactly what they did. Unless the legislators plan to work in a perpetual cacophony, let security do its job unless unnecessary violence is happening.Roger Brisnehan, WestminsterI am speechless at the coverage of the high school student or students’ actions at the Capitol. Somewhere along the line they have learned that shouting like they are at a pep rally will get their point across. They are wrong.A part of getting y...

Feds propose reducing Colorado River water to California, Nevada and Arizona in “shot across the bow”

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:42:08 GMT

U.S. Bureau of Reclamation officials are considering whether to order Arizona, California and Nevada to take less water out of the drying Colorado River, effectively flexing their muscles over a problem they had hoped the states would solve themselves.In the coming weeks, federal officials must decide whether to impose cuts on the three lower Colorado River Basin states by either following the longstanding system of water-rights seniority or by spreading them across three states evenly. The former would put Arizona squarely in the crosshairs — threatening cities like Phoenix and Tucson — while the latter would force far more significant cuts on California, which draws the most Colorado River water by far.Colorado and the three other upper-basin states — New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — appear to have avoided cuts of their own, at least in the short term.The Bureau of Reclamation’s two proposals to cut water allocations for lower-basin states are part of a supplemental environmental im...
