I used to cover Fort Collins government @Coloradoan, but now I'm trying out life as an expat in Germany.

The US Forest Service is uniquely tasked with protecting streamflows in much of the West.
But our investigation found the agency has threadbare oversight of thousands of dams, ditches, reservoirs and pipelines that take water from forests. (Thread!)

@raymart36321205 @coloradoan Thanks Ray, I always enjoyed woring with you and have great memories of our talks about the Zagallai/Tafoya case.

It's officially my last day at the @Coloradoan, so I wanted to share some thoughts on Fort Collins and the local government beat. In a long Twitter thread, because that's how I roll.

@samxye4 Thanks Samantha, best wishes to you in your next moves as well!

Here I am like 2 weeks into my job at the Coloradoan. Seven years (!?) later, I have:
-A lot more gray hair
-1,000 stories under my belt
-Two giant suitcases & a slimmed-down cat ready to take to Germany
-Sadness in my heart as I head to my last FoCo City Council meeting!

And yet: The stress of population growth pulls at the city like a snug polyester shirt. Life here is objectively worse if you’re not wealthy and white.
