Hey Jim, What kind of action do you want to see policymakers propose on the water front? Like, what would someone have to say to get your vote based on their water proposals? Because Ducey at least threw $1b at trying to address water in his final(?) budget? that doesnt win him some credit to you?

Ducey’s refusal to release that report and his continued approvals of the Saudis to grow alfalfa at a cheap rate (have any journalists looked into what “legal” payoffs went from land developers or foreign governments to the GOP?) means he gets no credit from me. And a billion-dollar handout to for possible desalination? Come on—that’s just more public dollars being shoveled toward GOP cronies. I like how Hobbs & Mayes have started, but obviously, the feds (assuming the Democrats retain the presidency in 2024) will be vital. And if Trump & the GOP win in 2024, then dying from lack of water will actually be a minor inconvenience here in Arizona!

Yeah, that was a pretty Ducey move to pull.
