“The only thing I can be certain of is that everybody will be unhappy with it.”

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum describing the difficult negotiations over Colorado River water. Burgum said the federal government is pushing the seven basin states to reach a deal before current water-sharing rules expire, warning that a shrinking water supply will require painful compromises from all sides. He emphasized that a negotiated agreement is preferable to a lengthy legal battle that could end up at the U.S. Supreme Court and cost taxpayers millions. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
