Both headlines are true. Utah was bullied by the powers that be in Las Vegas. Also, Utah leaders had no backbone. I grew up in the area that is going to lose the water. I really feel bad for the ranchers. How much more growth are we going to allow in Southern Nevada? The answer to that all depends on how much water they can get and by taking this water from Utah they are really stretching. Next might be a pump and desalinizer so they can use water from the Great Salt Lake. It truly is sad what has happened.
The “human growth holocaust” will not be slowed down in the near future. All environmental problems are beset by the “Four Jackasses of the apocalypse” arrogance, apathy, greed & igorance!
