Navajo Nation seeks comments on water rights legislation and meeting with Salazar

The Navajo Nation government is seeking comments on legislation for an upcoming meeting in Washington with Interior Sec. Ken Salazar. Earlier, a leaked document showed that Salazar is planning to sneak a revised water settlement for Navajo water rights to the Little Colorado River rights through a lame duck Congress.

The new legislation 0468-12 is 83 pages long. It is regarding the November 14 Water Rights meeting with Salazar in Washington DC. It is kind of complex for the common grassroots folks to comprehend. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. I already caught some language errors, if you need help and/or guidance in submitting your comments, please email or call me. We need to make sure our comments are clear and understood. We have a 5-day comment period that started 4:30 pm today Friday. Also PLEASE FORWARD to all your contacts. Thank you!
