Bennet's office reported the overdue $40 million for Shoshone was released and said he had earlier called for the remaining $92 million in Bucket 2E funds.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete partial delivery: the Shoshone portion of the requested remaining federal Colorado River funding was released, and Bennet's office ties the release to his prior advocacy for the $92 million package. It does not show the full $92 million was released.

Hickenlooper's office said seven of 17 projects had been awarded more than $99 million, while nine remained unfunded and $52 million was still being pursued.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): After the Shoshone release, official Senate reporting still listed nine drought projects unfunded and another $52 million outstanding. This supports a partial outcome rather than full delivery of the $92 million commitment.

Bennet materially advocated for the remaining Colorado River Bucket 2E funding during his current Senate term, and $40 million for the Shoshone Permanency Project was released after that advocacy. However, the record shows that the full promised remaining $92 million was not released; official reporting still described nine projects and $52 million as outstanding. This supports partial delivery, not full fulfillment.
