Colorado Gov. Jared Polis followed through with his not-too-veiled hint that he would veto a measure that could have delayed the state's plan to capture and release gray wolves along the Western Slope by the end of the year.
Polis vetoed Senate Bill 23-256—alongside two other measures—Tuesday, his office said in a release. He called the bill "unnecessary" and said it would undermine the intent of voters who supported gray wolf reintroduction and expect them to be released by December.
