Virginia Rights in Power Plant Fight Reaches Supreme Court
Winchester Virginia June 23 R Gray Williams argued in Asheville as special counsel for Virginia in a case testing state rights over non navigable streams and federal control of power plants under the Federal Power Act. He contended sovereignty remains with states and that federal licensing over non navigable waters is unconstitutional. The suit, likely to reach the Supreme Court, questions federal authority to regulate downstream navigation and power projects across states.
