Colorado Governor Polis Vetoes Wolf Reintroduction Bill.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis has vetoed a bipartisan bill that could have delayed the reintroduction of wolves in the state. Senate Bill 256 would have prevented the reintroduction until the federal government designated gray wolves as a “nonessential experimental population,” giving ranchers more flexibility to manage wolves. Polis said the bill was “unnecessary and undermines the voters’ intent” and could interfere with wolves being named as an experimental population. The governor also vetoed two other measures, including one that would have changed the clemency application process.
