Legislators hear water updates, concerns in Casa Grande
by Heather Smathers | Casa Grande Dispatch
State legislators heard updates on water issues facing Arizona, including what a proposed Pinal-focused rule change might mean for the county’s future.
While the group wasn’t explicitly focused on the Pinal extinguishment credits rule change, speakers nonetheless used the time to voice differing opinions on the proposal.
Steve Miller, R-Casa Grande, a Pinal County supervisor and member of the ad hoc committee tasked with identifying changes for the current extinguishment credit rule, told PinalCentral he was surprised at the opposition to the proposal, which has been in the works for months. Miller said the mounting opposition has all surfaced in the past month.
