Is Water Thicker Than Blood
Stray thoughts on water issues, politics and family.
So we have the Salazar brothers representing us in Congress; Senator Ken Salazar and Representative John Salazar.
I wonder how they would vote if a matter relating to water quality or sales in the Arkansas River Valley came before them at the national level. I trust that our 3d District Rep, John, would vote as we would vote were in in his shoes. The question is would Ken vote the same way? After all, the metroplexes that covet the Arkasas River water provided a big part of his ride into the Senate.
Based on the fact that Rafael Gallegos (D-Antonito) was rebuked by his fellow Democrats on the House committee that shot down his proposal for cleaner water, I get the distinct impression that when it comes to water, party politics and possibly even family, are ‘out the window’, like the baby with the bath water.
