Legislative Forecast Luncheon

Last Friday, I attended the 2019 Legislative Forecast Luncheon sponsored by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce. Senator Krysten Sinema, Senator Martha McSally and Governor Doug Ducey spoke of their goals for the next year. I hope to build a relationship with them and their staffs, so that when Greenlee County needs help, I am in a position to ask for it.

My presentation to Members of the Legislature

This week I had the opportunity to give a presentation to some senators and representatives of the Arizona Legislature on the importance of ranching, mining, and forest management. I also personally got to talk to Karen Fann who is president of the Arizona Senate and also Rusty Bowers who is Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives. I am building good relationships that will pay dividends for Greenlee County in the future.

Western Interstate Region Conference

At the Western Interstate Region conference, which is comprised of the 17 Western States, we discussed what the Eastern Counties Organization of Arizona had been doing with the Four Forest Restoration Initiative, including some of our accomplishments and some of our failures. Many states were very interested because we had accomplishments that they were not able to get done. We contribute that to commitment from the counties, and from industry.
