Griffin Denounces Latest Hobbs Veto
State Representative Gail Griffin (R-19) issued a statement denouncing Governor Katie Hobbs's (D-AZ) veto of a groundwater data bill that would provide critical information on groundwater supply for rural Arizonans.
In March, Rep. Griffin pushed for House Bill 2271, requiring the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) to provide data such as active index wells, depth-to-water averages, and total groundwater volume in its annual supply and demand reports for rural groundwater basins.
The bill responded to the ADWR declaring these groundwater basins as "critical," meaning they are declining, but without providing proof.
