? for U.S. Senate? Mark Udall was hanging out in Leadville this week, according to The Leadville Chronicle. From the article: U.S. Congressman Mark Udall (D) made a quick trip to Lake County Friday to campaign for the U.S. Senate position up for election this November. He talked about the bill he co-sponsored with Congressman Doug Lamborn (R) to deal with the issues concerning the Leadville Mine Drainage Tunnel. There is not just a blocked tunnel, he said, but also a bureaucratic block that is almost worse than the block in the tunnel. The bill will force the Bureau of Reclamation to take responsibility for the tunnel and the water that is backed up behind the block, he said. This bill has made it past the first committee hearing and is moving into the big committee hearing. More Coyote Gulch coverage here and here. Category: Colorado Water 9:31:46 AM
