  <description> This whole series started with a vote.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   That&amp;amp;nbsp;vote not only revealed&amp;amp;nbsp;the ongoing debate about&amp;amp;nbsp;reintroducing the gray wolf to Colorado,&amp;amp;nbsp;but also&amp;amp;nbsp;who gets to make decisions and what the best way to do that is.
