Colorado Water
Douglas County voters favored candidates that appear to be focused on the county's water problems, according to the Rocky Mountain News [November 14, 2004, "Facing the facts on Dougco water"]. From the opinion piece, "Douglas County voters packed polling places Nov. 2 with a record 94.55 percent turnout. And while a huge majority cast their ballots for Republicans, a bigger story was their overwhelming support for candidates committed to solving the county's water crisis. Republican Steve Boand, for example, a newly elected member of the Douglas County Commission, just happens to be a hydrologist who once served on the Water Conservation Board of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. If he is true to his campaign promise of a facilitating a comprehensive water-supply plan for Dougco, residents there may finally be getting the political leadership they deserve."
