Little River, 5/11/21 - Reps. Jared Huffman, Mike Thompson, and other notable North Coast water managers and politicians gathered at a virtual summit yesterday morning to discuss the severe drought facing the North Coast and the state. No new policies were announced, but Senator Mike McGuire announced that the state senate is moving on a $3.4 billion drought relief package and Huffman listened to water leaders who made a resounding and sometimes plaintive call for state and federal money to weather this year's water crisis and prepare for the future.
