United States Senator Michael Bennet spent Monday in Northwest Colorado. He first met with local leaders and officials in Moffat County to hear about the historic negotiation with Tri-State. Senator Bennet then met with constituents in Steamboat Springs.
“I think we’re all in this together. We’ve got to figure this out. We’ve got to make sure that rural Colorado and Northwest Colorado have the resources and the benefits of living in this beautiful state. And I think people here are doing everything they can to move their communities forward, to support their way of life, and whatever I can do to help that, I want to do.”
On Tuesday, Senator Bennet is meeting with some ranchers in Grand County.
