Heath Flora is a farmer, firefighter and business owner with the kind of real world experience desperately needed in the State Assembly. He was raised on a farm and had been a small business owner and volunteer firefighter for 15 years.
Stop the Two Tunnels.
I am strongly opposed to Governor Brown’s misguided plan to build two huge tunnels at a cost of $17 billion and ship our water South. It’s time we put people and jobs before fish and stop this boondoggle.
More Water Storage
State voters passed a water bond in 2014. Now, it is imperative the California Water Commission use the $2.7 billion for water storage projects to build dams at Sites Reservoir and Temperance Flats. I will work to speed construction of both facilities and fight my hardest to remove radical environmental rules that put fish before people and slow their construction.
Fight For Our Ground Water
Like most farmers in the region, I strongly oppose the Twin Tunnel plan.
Like most farmers, I opposed recently passed groundwater legislation that will mandate a massive and costly regulatory system for farmers and ranchers.
Since the bills became law, we now must focus on ensuring water, property and privacy rights are respected. Count on me to oppose schemes that will lead to confusion and litigation or allow government bureaucrats to stop people from pumping water that’s needed for crops and livestock.
