Trump’s veto of water project is his latest targeted hit on Colorado
… A major escalation to Mr. Trump’s attacks on the state [Colo.] came on Tuesday, when he used the first veto of his second term to kill a pipeline project to provide clean drinking water to the state’s eastern plains, a largely conservative area. … The bill would have helped to fund a 130-mile pipeline to bring water from a reservoir near Pueblo, Colo., to small farming and ranching towns on the state’s eastern plains, where groundwater is contaminated with salt and even naturally occurring radioactive elements. The project has been in the works since the 1960s.
