Court Declines to Hear Case to Save Arizona’s San Francisco Peaks
-----------------------------------------------------------------



Also on Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear a petition from a
coalition of Native American and environmental groups to protect the San
Francisco Peaks located near Flagstaff, Arizona. The mountains are
considered sacred by thirteen Native American tribes. A lawsuit was
filed by the coalition to block a private developer from expanding a ski
resort on the mountain and from using recycled sewer water to make fake
snow.
