Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 5, 2014
This is not about political points. It is about people who could lose their jobs in the drought. It is about the dairy producer who might soon have to consider selling the dairy their grandfather started. It is about farmworkers who might soon find themselves in food lines instead of helping produce some of the most productive crops in the world. It is about the children of migrant workers who might soon have to leave their school because their parents have to look for work elsewhere. In the coming days, we will be introducing legislation. I hope we can engender some bipartisan support. At the end of the day, that is what it is going to take to solve the water problems in California.
