Congressional Water Caucus (June 2009) PDF Print
I wanted to inform you that I have joined the bi-partisan Congressional Water Caucus.  The Caucus is committed to promoting dialogue and action on our water issues by ensuring an adequate supply of fresh water for both urban and rural areas, supporting all available technologies to increase water supply and reduce waste, increasing means of capturing and storing excess water for the future, supporting adequate water infrastructure, and consolidating and streamlining efforts at all levels of government to reduce bureaucratic red tape.  As California continues to struggle with its third year of severe drought, I hope to work with the Water Caucus on bringing about commonsense reform to increase water storage in California and reduce unnecessary and unbalanced regulatory and bureaucratic obstacles to water availability.
