Boebert Criticizes Trump’s Veto of Colorado Drinking Water Bill
Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill to complete a water pipeline serving 39 Colorado communities and 50,000 residents, citing taxpayer concerns amid political disputes with Rep. Boebert.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump vetoed the Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act, blocking a bipartisan bill to complete Colorado's pipeline, prompting Rep. Lauren Boebert to criticize the decision as vital to her district.
- Rising project expenses helped shape the White House rationale, with Trump writing `Enough is enough` and citing over $249 million spent and total costs up to $1.3 billion amid inflation and increased labor costs.
- Boebert, the bill's House sponsor, argued the veto will deny clean drinking water to 50,000 Southeast Colorado residents and wrote, `I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retribution.`
- Congress can attempt an override by winning two-thirds support, and the House is expected to consider the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act again next week.
- The vetoes come amid heightened tensions between the White House and Colorado as Trump has increasingly targeted the state in recent weeks, uniting Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper in opposition.
