Attorney General Phil Weiser released the following statement regarding Nebraska suing Colorado at the U.S. Supreme Court over the Perkins County Canal:  

“It’s unfortunate that Nebraska leaders decided to put politics above farming and ranching communities and the regional agricultural economy. The failure to look for reasonable solutions and to turn to litigation is both unfortunate and predictable given the misguided effort driving the proposed canal. Nebraska has now set in motion what is likely to be decades of litigation. And if, after decades of litigation, the court allows Nebraska to move forward with its wasteful project, Nebraska’s actions will force Colorado water users to build additional new projects to lessen the impact of the proposed Perkins County Canal." – AG Weiser
