County to sue Sierra Club over Gila River shrubbery halt
Graham County residents plan to sue the Sierra Club for halting the Gila River channel cleanup that would have reduced flood risk. County manager Harold Gietz cited last week's floods that damaged 6100 acres in the Gila Valley, including Little Hollywood in Safford, and noted the injunction blocked dam progress and river clearing. Governors Williams sought federal disaster declaration for Greenlee and Graham Counties with damages pegged around 18.5 million dollars, much from private property losses.
