Boebert and the Infrastructure Bill

If Laura Boebert is so upset about the infrastructure bill, maybe the honorable representative from Rifle should volunteer to delete any federal funding for rehabilitating Interstate 70 through Colorado’s Glenwood Canyon.

Got in an hour long traffic jam where they are repairing from a rock slide. Also almost wrecked twice, due to other drivers thinking they were “special”, and driving way too fast through the canyons.

I’m a frequent summer visitor to the Centennial State and I’m amazed and appalled at how fast all too many Colorado drivers take some of the grades and turns in dangerous places.

As for Glenwood Canyon, I don’t doubt that the one-two punches of the recent forest fires and climate change are going to cause even more rock falls during the next several years.
