Action 22 – March 1999 – Colorado Central Magazine
A WATERSHED EVENT in the history of rural Colorado politics may have begun January 13, with the formation of Action 22, a coalition of 22 southeastern Colorado counties.
Patterned after Club 20, the Western Slope bloc (which also includes Lake County), Action 22 aims to create “a single unified voice on issues of mutual concern to Southern Colorado Counties,” according to its brochure. In other words, 22 usually ignored counties are pooling clout to make one BIG voice in the state legislature.
