Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

New tactics apparently. Look at a situation that may not be optimal. Create a worsened condition. Negotiate a position that is no better than the original one. Claim a victory. What a president.
