Lombardo campaign adviser leads water lawsuit seeking billions from Nevada

A former lieutenant governor and water rights consultant, linked to a Lombardo campaign adviser, are connected to a developer pursuing billions in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against Nevada. The legal action, which heads to trial next week, threatens to upend existing water regulation. Experts suggest the outcome could establish a concerning precedent for the state's top water regulator, potentially resulting in massive financial liabilities for taxpayers while fundamentally altering how water rights are managed.
