Governor, DNR, and NRDs meet
On December 15, Governor Heineman, the DNR, all of the Republican River Basin NRD board members and managers, are likely to be in attendance at a water meeting in McCook. The Governor has the floor beginning at 10:00 AM until about 2:00 PM, central time. It is a public meeting. It will be held at the Republican Valley Event Center, (old Elk’s Club) at 905 7th St. E, McCook. MAP
There will be enough people in attendance that the audience will be allowed very limited if any participation.
The purpose of the meetings is for the elected officials to discuss possible solutions to the Republican River Basin water issue. It is hoped that the Governor will reveal his suggestions on how to solve the problem. At minimum, he is expected to listen to ideas from the NRDs.
Dan Smith, manager of the Middle Republican NRD appears to be acting as host for the event. His number is 308 367-4281
