I wanted to thank those of you who persevered and weighed in on the Request to Speak actions this week. The system was especially slow this weekend. At the Request to Speak training they said it is slow when the system is especially busy. I thought you could use some good news. This week all four of Senator Steele's electric vehicle (EV) bills passed out of the Transportation and Technology Committee. Please consider thanking the senators who helped make that happen including Senators Boyer (voted no on SB1150, but yes on the rest), Gabaldon, Otondo, Pace, Rios, Shope, and, of course, Senator Steele. Be sure to mention if you are a constituent!
Unfortunately, I have some bad news as well. HB2055 passed in committee. This week, please take a minute to call your House members and ask them to oppose HB2055 Harquahala non-expansion area; groundwater transportation (Griffin: Bowers). It allows private water companies to import water from the Harquahala Valley and into active management areas (AMAs) for development. Creating groundwater sacrifice zones and further privatizing water is a bad idea. This bill awaits floor action in the House. Be sure to tell them that you are their constituent.
