Columbia Valley Administration debated in sprawling CVA bill text
Excerpts from Idaho League for CVA push outline Senate Bill 1645 for a Columbia Valley Administration. Plans cover unified regional development, transfer of powers to Northwest, limited condemnation, private construction, and advisory participation.
Arguments Against CVA Oppose Idaho Water Control Bill
A Tuesday statement by the Idaho Development association argues that CVA would become a federal corporation with near unlimited control over water and resources. It warns CVA could seize functions from the Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers, move courts, set rates, buy land, run businesses, and deny taxes, impacting state rights and irrigation practice.
