NCWCD stops distributing, printing “Save The Poudre” bumper sticker


[1]

Fort Collins, CO – Today, the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) has sent an email to Save the Poudre: Poudre Waterkeeper stating that NCWCD has stopped distributing and printing the extremely controversial “Save the Poudre: Store it in Glade” bumper sticker. That email exchange is below.

“We greatly appreciate that NCWCD has stopped distributing and printing this bumper sticker,” said Gary Wockner of Save the Poudre: Poudre Waterkeeper. “We respectfully thank the NCWCD board, staff, and NISP participants for addressing our concerns.”

On July 21, 2010, the Waterkeeper Alliance, of which Save the Poudre: Poudre Waterkeeper is an affiliate, sent a “cease and desist” letter to NCWCD about the bumper sticker. That letter is here: Letter [2].
