Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is raising concerns about proposed cuts to the Department of General Services’ Division of State Lands, known as “DOGE,” amid ongoing discussions about water rights in Nevada. The division plays a crucial role in managing and protecting state-owned land and water resources, including overseeing water rights issues.
Cortez Masto emphasized the importance of ensuring that the division has adequate funding and resources to effectively carry out its responsibilities, especially as water rights discussions become increasingly critical in the state. She expressed concern that potential cuts to DOGE could hinder these efforts and impact the state’s ability to manage water resources effectively.
The senator’s concerns come at a time when water rights issues are becoming more pressing in Nevada, with growing demand for limited water supplies and increasing competition for resources. Cortez Masto’s advocacy for maintaining funding for DOGE highlights the need for continued support and investment in water management efforts to ensure the sustainability of Nevada’s water resources for future generations.
