"I know we have a historic drought. I know the problems that you are operating under."

"If you had simply chosen to pump as much water as is allowed under the biological opinion, you would have provided enough water for 2 million people for an entire year."

"Any drop of water that we can retain, we need."

"this can save the taxpayer a lot of money and it can certainly save a lot of property from being burned up."
