State Supreme Court Upholds Dismissal of Water Suit
STATE SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS DISMISSAL OF WATER SUIT AGAINST DNR BY RUSS PANKONIN THE IMPERIAL REPUBLICAN In an opinion released Friday, March 10, the Nebraska Supreme Court upheld the district court dismissal of two water suits brought against the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Water users in the Frenchman Cambridge Irrigation District (FCID) lost their appeal of the dismissal of the suits by Furnas County District Court Judge James E. Doyle IV in May 2016. The suits were filed by four water users in the FCID as a class action suit—one for 2013 and one for 2014. The complaints claimed the surface water users in the district were harmed when DNR issued closing notices on river flows for compact compliance purposes in 2013 and 2014. In their appeal, they contended their water rights were superior to those of the Republican River Basin Compact. They also added that DNR’s failure to regulate groundwater depleted available stream flow, which represented a “taking” of water. Compact counts as federal law Writing for the court, Chief Justice Michael Heavican said the surface water rights do not supersede the Compact. “We conclude that the appropriators’ rights to use the water are subject to the Compact and are thus not a compensable property interest when the right to use is limited to ensure Nebraska’s compliance under the Compact,” Heavican wrote. He continued, “The U.S. Supreme Court held that the Compact, having received Congress’s blessing, counts as federal law. “As federal law, the allocations set forth under the Compact are the supreme law in Nebraska and the DNR must ensure Nebraska remains within its allocation under the Compact. -

Justice Reinvestment in Nebraska Analysis and Policy Framework
Justice Reinvestment in Nebraska Analysis and Policy Framework JANUARY 2015 Overview ebraska’s prisons are overcrowded—state corrections Nofficials report that these facilities are at 159 percent of their capacity.1 Many people sentenced to prison are double- bunked or sleeping on cots in common areas, and others are being housed in county jails. From FY2004 to FY2013, the prison population increased 19 percent.2 Corrections spending increased 20 percent during this period, from $131 million in FY2004 to $157 million in FY2013.3 Even though reported crime and arrests declined between 2004 and 2013, prison admissions increased and are now outpacing releases.4 If this growth continues unchecked, prisons will become even more crowded, swelling from 159 percent of capacity (5,221 people) as of December 31, 2014 to a projected 5 170 percent of capacity (5,581 people) by FY2020. AND POLICYANALYSIS FRAMEWORK In October 2014, the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) released a Master Plan proposal to add 1,100 prison beds at an estimated cost of $262 million, which would bring the prison population down to 128 percent of capacity by FY2019.6 But with construction neither scheduled nor funded, state leaders are seeking first to understand the root causes of Nebraska’s growing prison population and then evaluate whether simply building prisons will provide the best return on the state’s public safety investment. In 2014, Governor Dave Heineman, Chief Justice Michael Heavican, Speaker Greg Adams, and other state policymakers from both parties asked the Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center to use a data-driven “justice reinvestment” approach to help the state slow prison population growth, reduce corrections spending, and reinvest a portion of savings in strategies that can reduce recidivism and increase public safety. -
