Update from Assembly Member Devon Mathis l Assembly District 26

Assembly Member Devon Mathis,
California Assembly District 26 |
|
We all know that the water crisis is one of the biggest issues in California right now and I am proud to report that my staff and I have achieved some major successes in bringing relief to our community. Working with the Governor's office we've secured $10 million for grants to pay for deepening and cleaning contaminated wells and my bill AB-1588 which will add $20 million more, unanimously passed out of the Assembly earlier this month.
Another one of my bill's AB-1749 provides for a CEQA exemption for a water treatment facility in Porterville that will generate 2 million gallons of potable water a day. My staff and I have been working tirelessly to do everything we can to alleviate the impacts of the water crisis and it will continue to be our top priority.

Where people look out for each other.

Where success is measured in selfless acts.
