John,
As drought and wildfires become the new normal in our state, I want to make sure you didn't miss
this article in the
Los Angeles Times about the progress we're making to bolster water supply here in Southern California.
I recently introduced the
Desalination Development Act which would provide $260 million over five years for desalination projects across the country, with an emphasis on projects in drought-prone areas such as ours that use best practices to minimize environmental harm.
I am very encouraged that the recent Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan includes $250 million for desalination projects, nearly in line with our bill. We’ll do all we can to ensure these provisions make it across the finish line in the coming months.
Your support helps me focus on the pressing issues at hand. Thank you for helping us meet the mark last month, and I look forward to an important month ahead.
Let's get this done,
Mike
