In advance of the new session, MCWRA sent a letter to Assembly Member Anthony Rendon suggesting changes to AB 1331 and invites the Assembly Member and his Committee members to the Sierra.

The Sierra is the lifeblood for Californian’s quality of life and well-being from the crest of the Sierra to San Diego. AB1331 is the vehicle to secure short-term and long-term funding to get California on track for a sustainable future. A sustainable future starts at the crest of the headwaters of the Sierra.” …
