Citrus industry leaders, including CCM President Joel Nelsen, CCM board Chairman Kevin Severns and executives from Wonderful Citrus and Sunkist, met with Senator Feinstein to discuss her latest bill. The legislation is said to put California one step closer to comprehensive water policy reform, which Congress has been arguing over for several years now.
“It is promising, and Senator Feinstein has every interest in getting something done for California water security once and for all,” says Nelsen.
Citrus Mutual, in conjunction with other like-minded entities, will work to move this package through the Senate, hopefully as part of a western water bill while working to seek House support.
“A silent disaster is taking place,” says Chairman Kevin Severns. “It's clear Senator Feinstein is willing to work with the House to negotiate a water bill that benefits all California water users.”
