Interviewer:  In your opinion regarding these water issues, do you think this is a good idea or bad and why?

Justice Gish:  I think the water issue is a bad idea for SNWA to think that there is a surplus of water here.  I mean it's very obvious.  You ask anyone who lives here, that just is not the case.  We're in a water deficit so the idea of drawing water from our area is just ludicrous and a very bad idea and I'm against that.

Interviewer:  What do you think it would do to this area?

Justice Gish:  I think that this area would probably cease to exist if they ended up pumping our water.  We're going to see major environmental impacts on the land.  It's going to be far reaching throughout all of Snake Valley, which is a large area.  We're going to see a way of life gone.  People aren't going to be able to survive without that, so major impacts.
