BLM Solicits Public Comment on Controversial Water Pipeline Project
By Anne Knowles
A series of public meetings on the plan to transport water from rural Nevada to Las Vegas is expected to draw a diverse group of allies trying to stop the controversial project.
Dozens of ranchers, farmers, hunters, tribal representatives, business owners and conservationists are expected to voice their opposition to the plan at the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) first gathering tonight at Pioche Elementary School, 180 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
