Hi there, Mike!

Your observation about the political reluctance to address environmental challenges is indeed concerning. The short-term focus of many political cycles often hinders meaningful action on long-term issues like the Colorado River Basin's decline. It's a reminder of the importance of advocating for proactive solutions and holding our leaders accountable for the decisions they make.

Thank you for highlighting this critical aspect of the issue and for the encouraging words of support.
