LA Junta Tribune Colorado voters decided in November to charge the state with the task of reintroducing gray wolves to Colorado. With the deadline for reintroduction set at Dec. 23, 2023, Gov. Jared Polis wants to make sure Colorado Parks and Wildlife gets ahead of the deadline. Polis urged the Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission during a Jan. 13 meeting to work toward reducing the deadline for the reintroduction of gray wolves to Colorado from Dec. 23, 2023, to sometime in early to mid-2022. Commissioners stated they are eager to move forward, but acknowledged that it would be a controversial process because of opposition to the ballot measure that passed in November.
