    Earlier this year, Arizona lawmakers sued the Biden administration over the newly created Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni

    If successful, Arizona’s lawsuit would open Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni to more economic development, and specifically, livestock grazing and uranium mining.

    The headline in no way implied that everyone in the state wants it. A reasonable reader would clearly assume that the state government wants it, and that is true. The lawmakers of the state of Arizona are suing the federal government so they can allow new uranium mines on tribal lands.

      Some lawmakers. Because with Democrats swiping state wide offices, lawsuits are about the only power they have left.
