IMMEDIATE RELEASE                             Contact: Brian Baluta (202) 225-6155

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) released the following statement regarding the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) pipeline:

"As a former member of the Nevada State Legislature and a strong believer in local and state control in management decisions, my position regarding the inter-basin transfer of water and the SNWA pipeline comes down to states rights.

"The State of Nevada has control and management of water and I believe that is where the decision needs to be made. While plenty of controversy surrounds SNWA and the process of allocating an inter-basin transfer, I am confident that the State Water Engineer has the tools, resources, and experience to make this decision rather than Washington politicians who do not represent the needs and values of Nevadans.

"Involving the federal government in the decision-making process is not something that I support. Administration of Nevada water and associated laws should occur without encroachment from Washington politics or federal land management agencies."
