READ WHAT THE REAL EXPERTS SAY ABOUT THE AAMODT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT!

People from our community have found documentation on how our constitutional rights are being violated.  They also found evidence that our Government is working against us on the Aamodt Settlement to serve several special interest groups.  In fact, he states that the interest in this settlement by Santa Fe County and Santa Fe City is due to the fact that OUR water will be made available to Santa Fe for development.  Development that has been difficult due to lack of water.  Thus the title, “Watering Santa Fe Conifers with water from Nambe, Pojoaque, and Tesuque area”.  The Aamodt Settlement will not only give Pueblos what they have been fighting for but will provide them unlimited profiting for years to come.  The only losers in this settlement are the taxpayers of our community!! 

Turner is a world renowned expert in Geology-Hydrology.  Please take the time to read his 2004 article on what is really happening with our water rights.  Apparently, Pecos had a similar issue in 2004 and was able to stop the settlement by obtaining legal assistance to file objections.  Only one objection was considered valid to halt the whole settlement.  In 2004, Dr. Turner states his opinion on how the proposed Aamodt Settlement Agreement would be similar and how non-Indian Objectors would be left with little recourse.  In a nut shell, set up to fail in stopping this unfair settlement.  A community member contacted Dr. Turner and he was not surprised that his 2004 prediction was dead on!

We have to ask, is this why Santa Fe County Legal is arguing to use a 1964 Hydrology Survey??  Does the aquifer really lack water?  Is the surface drought being used as manipulation to make us believe a water system is needed yet the plan is to make water available to Santa Fe Developers?  Currently people in Bishops Lodge who are on city water are getting included in this Settlement.  Why?
