We havee been <br />heavily dependent on polluters, and this is a policy <br />we now have to change because the economic effects <br />of losing your land, losing the value of your <br />property as a result of pollution are numerous <br />examples across the State. <br />I couldn't even spend enough time up <br />here to go through where people have lost property <br />values, devastated, have gone bankrupt as a result of <br />poison drinking water in the area, and there is no <br />alternative. We do not have water in the State of <br />Colorado to be losing or even risking. <br />If the chance of poisoning this water <br />table were one percent, my opinion to this community <br />would be that is a risk that is too great because <br />it's too valuable to your economic viability, and if <br />you lose the water, there's no recovery of it. <br />Thank you. <br />(Applause.) <br />MR. JOUFLAS: Thank you very much. <br />Joe, would you like to -- <br />MR. GALLEGOS: Close it up? <br />
