"States need a change so that they can more readily address the drought issues that they face--like those that Utah faces, in particular."

"Everywhere I go in my state, I hear of the need for increased water storage infrastructure."

"The impact of the drought on my home State of Utah has been quite severe--really severe, in fact."

"Unfortunately, bureaucratic federal processes often stand in the way of safe, effective, responsible drought mitigation efforts."
