From the Imperial Valley Press:

One of the groups suing the Imperial Irrigation District has suffered a setback.

POWER, which stands for Protect Our Water and Environmental Rights, initially sued the IID claiming environmental reviews on the All-American Canal were not adequate. It had two appeals to its case denied Friday.

“This means POWER lost again. What a surprise,” said IID Board President John Pierre Menvielle.

The lawsuits were initially filed in 2006 by brothers Mike and Jimmy Abatti, members of POWER. Mike Abatti later dropped his involvement in the lawsuits after he was elected to the IID board.
