After several weeks of deliberation, one Gunnison County rancher has replaced another on the Colorado River District board of directors. County commissioners appointed Kathleen Curry on Tuesday, January 12 to replace former member Bill Trampe. Curry has served as chair of the Gunnison Basin Roundtable for the past three years, works as a water lobbyist and is also a former state legislator, having represented Gunnison County in House District 61 from 2005 to 2011.
Curry was one of three initial applicants for the appointment that came when Trampe, a prominent rancher in the Gunnison Valley, announced he would retire from the board at the end of 2020. “We’ve been faithfully served by Bill Trampe for the past 20 years,” said commissioner chairperson Jonathan Houck.
