Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson says he’s encouraged by a federal judge’s action against the Waters of the United States rule.
The judge in North Dakota issued a temporary injunction against the EPA implementing the rule in 13 states that filed suit. Nebraska is among the 13.
Peterson says it’s a big victory for the states. . .

Peterson expects the number of lawsuits against the Waters of the US to be combined into one case. . .

The lawsuit filed by Nebraska and 12 other states claims the EPA exceeded its authority in drafting the rule.
