Questions Remain

Calif. Governor Ready To Deal With Water Crisis

Questions Remain

Matteis says that at this point there is uncertainty about how the special session will be conducted: What the timelines will be, what opportunities for stakeholder input will exist and other details have not been made clear. He says Farm Bureau members should look to Farm Team for important updates on the deliberations during the special legislative session on water.

"From Farm Bureau's perspective, there are key elements that must be included in any comprehensive package of water bills – and certain elements that must not be included," Matteis says.

He says the priorities of California's farmers and ranchers continue to be new water storage facilities, improved water conveyance, protections for area-of-origin water rights and environmental improvements.
