Assemblymen Brian Dahle, R-Bieber, and Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, wrote this for the Mercury News
“The two of us have many differences. One is a Republican, the other a Democrat. One represents a rural district, the other predominately suburban communities. There is plenty we do not agree on. But we are in total agreement on the benefits that flow from the Sierra Nevada to all of California, the most obvious of which is water. “…
“We will work together to ensure the needs of this region are part of the discussions addressing California’s water future. Our constituents in rural Northern California and the metropolitan Silicon Valley have much riding on this.”
