Southern Oklahoma group rips planned water sale
OKLAHOMA CITY -- A loose coalition of southern Oklahoma organizations sought to bolster their case against the sale of state water to Texas interests. The attorney general's office is appealing a federal judge's ruling that would allow a Texas group to proceed with its lawsuit against the state. The Tarrant Regional Water District wants to obtain 150 billion gallons of water a year from Oklahoma streams. Opponents say the district wants the water to further economic development in north Texas at the expense of Oklahoma towns and cities.
