Expect Colorado’s wildlife officials to begin releasing gray wolves back into forests along the Western Slope by the end of the year now that Gov. Jared Polis seems ready to clear any potential delays.
that if the state measure passes, it could delay the federal process and therefore the reintroduction.
Western Slope lawmakers argued that any delay would likely be short-lived and a fair price to pay to ensure that state wildlife officials have the tools they need to handle the predators. But during an address Tuesday, Polis said he wants to honor the will of voters who passed Proposition 114, which is widely believed to mean that the reintroduction process should begin in December.
When asked whether he’d veto the measure, Polis didn’t give a specific answer but he noted that state officials and legal experts warned of a possible delay, which he wants to avoid. State Rep. Matt Soper, R-Delta County, one of the measure’s sponsors, said a veto from Polis would be a “grave mistake.” Waiting until federal officials give the state authority to manage the wolves would mean the greatest chance of success for their reintroduction, he said.
