Curtis and other Utah/Wyoming senators joined Governors Spencer Cox and Mark Gordon for a meeting on Colorado River negotiations, discussing the future of the basin and long-term management of Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Lake Powell.
Assessments
Curtis has taken concrete same-term actions matching the promise: he convened a Utah water/Great Salt Lake roundtable with state officials, water experts, researchers, conservation leaders, and private-sector technology participants, and he participated in a separate state-federal Colorado River meeting. Those actions materially satisfy the convening and idea-solicitation direction of the promise, but the promise is framed as continuing future engagement, so the available evidence supports substantial progress rather than full completion.
