Goldwater Institute attorneys today are arguing before the Ninth Circuit on behalf of Tombstone, Arizona, defending Tombstone’s right to access its water supply against action by the Obama Administration.
A devastating combination of wildfires and monsoons ravaged Tombstone’s water supply, leaving only three of 25 springs in operation. Despite a declared state of emergency, the Obama administration still refuses to let the town repair its water lines, which originate in federal wilderness area, for fear of disturbing the Mexican spotted owl.
Goldwater Institute President & CEO Darcy Olsen discussed the case this morning on Fox & Friends, which you can watch here.
