I didn’t agree with some of Vice President Cheney’s decisions, but he and his boss never seemed to govern with open contempt for America and vast swaths of its population, which in 2025 is notable.

You do not often see the Speaker of the CA State Assembly and the President of the California Farm Bureau coauthoring opinions. That this moment has called for it underlines the unusual times we are in.
🎁 article. "Nearly every crop has a precise window for optimal harvest. When that window is missed, crops become undesirable to retailers, resulting in food waste and higher costs. CNN reported on an Oregon cherry farm with 30 acres of unpicked, rotting fruit...a loss of ~$250K as a result."

There’s a lot of agreement in the ag community that we need a quicker off-ramp for landowners with Williamson Act contracts and chronically unavailable water supplies. The question is how to keep it narrow enough that it doesn’t unravel the act’s needed protections in other areas.

Last July 2024, we marked the first 5 years of the SAFER program, launched after Governor Newsom signed SB 200 in 2019; we are building on the progress we’ve made so far to accelerate access to safe drinking water for all Californians.
