From the Aspen Daily News (Curtis Wackerle):

One of her proudest legislative accomplishments, she said, was sponsoring a bill that changed the complexion of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which oversees the industry. Before the reforms, the commission was comprised of seven members, five of whom were industry representatives, she said. Now there are nine members, three of whom are from the industry. “That was a total shift in how we should regulate [the industry] and that was really a great thing,” she said…

If she is sent back to the Legislature, Curry said she would like to sponsor a bill regarding the Colorado River Compact that would better protect Colorado water interests in the event of a “call” from downstream states. “There are a couple of things we can do to protect our interests in the event of a shortage in [Lake] Powell and [Lake] Mead,” she said.
