WASHINGTON Congress has passed the Navajo Utah Water Rights Settlement Act after its inclusion in the appropriations package that included $1.4 trillion for federal spending and nearly $900 billion for COVID-19 relief.
The act was championed by Utah Sen. Mitt Romney and Rep. Ben McAdams, who wrote a joint letter to House and Senate leaders in October and facilitated calls between House leadership and Gov. Gary Herbert urging for its passage.
After its passage in the Senate in June, Gov. Herbert released a statement applauding the efforts. This agreement is the result of more than 15 years of good faith work between Utah leaders, the U.S. Department of Interior, and the Navajo Nation. It will create clean drinking water projects for our Navajo friends and certainty for Utah s future water needs. My sincere thanks to Senator Romney and President Nez for their great work. I look forward to seeing it considered soon by the House of Representatives, said Herbert.
WILMINGTON, Del. (Reuters) President-Elect Joe Biden will nominate Rep. Deb Haaland to serve as his Interior Secretary, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Haaland, a Democratic congresswoman from New Mexico since 2019, would be the first Native American Cabinet secretary and the first to oversee the department, whose jurisdiction includes tribal lands.
Reuters reported Tuesday that Haaland was the leading candidate for the job, which would give her authority over a department that employs more than 70,000 people across the United States and oversees more than 20% of the nation s surface, including tribal lands and national parks like Yellowstone and Yosemite.
