A delegation from Fargo, Cass County and the Corps of Engineers will get 40 minutes to make their case for state funding of the Red River Diversion project before the Senate Appropriations Committee this Friday.

Diversion Authority Co-Chair Darrell Vanyo says the project's future is on the line, so he's relieved senators have given the delegation more time. Vanyo says they're asking the senate to restore state funding for the diversion.

 

Vanyo says amendments tied to the State Water Commission budget, approved by the house last week includes language that threatens the diversion. The last minute changes were sponsored by House Majority Leader Al Carlson.
