asked community please recreation terms uncertain vote
The recreation community asked me (Thursday) in no uncertain terms to please not vote today.
agreement both discussion feet incentives instead interested parties running
It's going to be up for discussion but we need an alternative to keep everybody's feet to the fire. When I say it's an incentive-driven bill, that one (triple damages) was one of the incentives to keep both parties interested in an agreement instead of running right to court.

applies bill colorado creek direction discomfort folks forward integrate left might moves particular people piece quality situations state time water
This particular piece of legislation moves the state forward in a direction that some people are having some discomfort with. Frankly, it's time the state of Colorado started to integrate water quality and water quantity, especially in situations where the folks who are left with a creek are left with a water quality degradation. This bill applies only to situations where that might happen.
attempts change
I think there will be attempts to change it.
amount expect file incentive meet reasonable water
I didn't expect that. I'm very pleased. This (bill) will give an incentive for applicants to file on a reasonable amount of water and still meet their needs.
