Governor's Non-Active Management Area Ground Water Committee Meeting

 I participated in a forum with Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers, Representative Nutt and Representative Griffin at Eastern Arizona College where they listened to local concerns about water. I also attended the Governor's Non-Active Management Area Ground Water Committee meeting, where several issues were brought up about well metering and the purpose of the data collected. Is it to stymie growth in the rural areas and find water for the population growth centers? I am working to get answers to these questions.

Lobbying the State Transportation Committee

This week I testified at the House of Representatives Transportation Committee. I brought to the committee's attention that the rural counties and rural cities were not getting the funds they need to maintain their roads.

I applaud our County Road Department for the good job that they do.

Governor's Water Augmentation Committee Meeting

I went to the Governor's Water Augmentation Committee meeting and voiced Greenlee County's concerns about water. I also gave the governor's office cards, signed by individuals from Greenlee County, stating that we don't want our domestic wells metered.

Travel Management Plan and 404 Permitting

Two of the things I have been currently working on with other county supervisors are a more lenient Travel Management Plan for Apache Sitgraves National Forest, and 404 permitting. It is critical to work with other counties so that we have a bigger voice. 

Arizona County Supervisor's Association

I chaired the small counties' forum where the seven small counties of the state of Arizona set our legislative agenda. I also took part in the County Supervisors Association's Legislative Forum where all the supervisors of Arizona set a legislative agenda. Our Greenlee County Board of Supervisors is very engaged in the affairs of the state and our county.

Photo Booth at the Greenlee County Junior Livestock Auction

Getting the pigs to cooperate for pictures is always fun.  Most people don't see the behind the scenes activity.  

Junior Rodeo Announcer Recognition

Thank you Junior Rodeo for the beautiful jacket. I love working with these kids. They gave away very nice saddles. Thank you to all the volunteers.
