A copy of Gov. Brown's 2013 State
of the State address can be found here.
GOVERNOR LAUDED FOR WATER
LEADERSHIP
(The following is a statement by
Mike Wade, Executive Director of the California Farm Water Coalition, in
response to the State of the State address by Governor Jerry Brown.)
"The Governor's continued
commitment to securing a reliable water future for California through the Bay
Delta Conservation Plan is to be applauded. Water that flows through the Delta
reaches as far south as San Diego, more than half the length of our state. The
benefit from this water delivery is found in many sectors of our way of life.
"More than 2 million acres
of farmland are irrigated with this water supply, providing jobs and
affordable, healthy and locally-produced food. Farms located along the west
side of the San Joaquin Valley, from Tracy to Bakersfield, as well as many in
the Coachella Valley and San Diego all contribute to California's bounty with
water that flows through the Delta.
"The risk is too great to
not move forward with the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. California's water supply
and economic future depend on the leadership we heard in Governor Brown's
remarks today."
