Az GOV Katie Hobbs Reveals West Valley Current Water Supply

Every new home built by a developer in Arizona must be able to show that it has 100 years of assured water supply.

On Monday, in her State of the State address, Governor Katie Hobbs revealed a large area of the far West Valley is far short of that requirement and accused former Governor Doug Ducey's administration of keeping the information secret from the public.

Hobbs said former Governor Ducey's office instructed ADWR to keep the report under wraps from the public.

"I do not understand, and do not in any way agree with, my predecessor choosing to keep this report from the public and from members of this legislature. However, my decision to release this report signals how I plan to tackle our water issues openly and directly," Gov. Hobbs said.

Arizona..Water/Saudis..AZ AG Mayes

AZ AG vows to repeal saudi farm-deal..but wait..CAN she? Extensive write-up..well done..Montini is an AZ treasure..

Mayes might be able to help with the Saudi deal, but that’s only part of the problem. If Arizona lawmakers don’t act soon the business interests draining the state’s aquifers will continue to do so until the cows come home. While the spigots in our homes run dry.

Arizona should not be giving its water away to the Saudi Arabians, or anyone else for that matter. Yet, for the past seven years, the attorney general and governor have allowed a Saudi company to pump out more than $38 million worth of groundwater from La Paz County for free.

AZ Governor Katie Hobbs signs 3 Executive Orders - Righting The Ship

https://ktar.com/story/5405302/arizona-gov-katie-hobbs-signs-2-executive-orders-on-homelessness-elections/

The first — and second signed since Hobbs took office — reinstates a commission on homelessness and housing that was abolished in 2020, by Gov Ducey... The other order signed on Friday establishes a bipartisan elections task force.

Executive Order 2 creates the Governor’s Interagency and Community Council on Homelessness and Housing, which will be chaired by the sitting governor of Arizona. The council will plan and develop policies aimed at addressing homelessness in the state.

Executive Order 3 established the Governor’s Bipartisan Elections Task Force to study and find recommendations to further bolster the state’s election laws and practices.

The sitting governor will chair the task force, which will include of the secretary of state, one county recorder nominated by the president of the state senate, a county recorder nominated by the Arizona house speaker, an election official from a city or town nominated by the League of Cities and Towns, among others.

I am thrilled Gov. Hobbs is so hands-on..but then, we knew this was her MO..so much more at link...
