Judge Walters Faces Heavy Burden in Largest Idaho District
Judge Edward A. Walters, presiding over Idaho’s largest judicial district, spent a strenuous February to September term handling pivotal cases. Key issues include the Twin Falls survey dispute upholding government surveys, a court house contract contest in Twin Falls, and irrigation debates in Elmore and Mountain Home with a potential receiver overseeing water distribution. The 500,000 acre Twin Falls Bruneau project and related Carey Act lands loom large, with two to three thousand parties affected and a major funding dispute to widen canals. The spring term closed with jurors presenting cigars to the judge as a token of appreciation.
