Yesterday, the Pentagon released a list of military construction projects that could be on the chopping block to fund Trump\u2019s unnecessary and ineffective wall, including as much as $77 million in military construction projects in Fort Carson.

Trump could cut $77 million in funding from essential military projects at Fort Carson.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colorado Springs Gazette<\/a>: \u201cThe Trump administration\u2019s border wall project could raid $77 million in construction money from Fort Carson, according to a Pentagon list released to Congress on Monday. The list, released to The Gazette by U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, puts more than $10 billion in military construction projects across the country and abroad on the chopping block since President Donald Trump declared a national emergency to build the barrier along the Mexican border.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump promised Senator Gardner that Colorado projects wouldn\u2019t be affected by his national emergency declaration. Will Gardner stand up to him now?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colorado Politics<\/a>: \u201cJerrod Dobkin, the senator’s press secretary, said Gardner has received a commitment from Trump that no funds appropriated for Colorado military construction projects for fiscal year 2019 will go toward border wall funding.\u201d<\/p>\n
