Walcher: Shafroth ‘got the details right’ while serving on GOCO board

By Mike Saccone | Tuesday, July 22, 2008, 10:58 AM

Democratic congressional hopeful Will Shafroth garnered praise from an unlikely source today: Mesa County resident and former Department of Natural Resources Director Greg Walcher.

According to an article in today’s edition of The Rocky Mountain News, Walcher said even when the two disagreed on policy matters, Shafroth “got the details right” on matters before the Great Outdoors Colorado board.

Sure, it’s unlikely Walcher — were he a resident of Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District — would vote for a Democrat, but his balanced praised can’t hurt the candidate.
