Kudos to Rep. Gail Griffin of Cochise County and Sen. Sine Carr of Dairy Farmer Committees of the House and Senate. Both are passionate about protecting all of Arizona’s farming and ranching and have proven themselves time and again. But what about the rest of us, Senator Griffin and Senator Kerr? What about those who aren’t using his 75% of all water sources in Arizona, those who aren’t draining the aquifers enough to cause the land to sink?

What about over 90% of Arizona’s population, over 5,500,000 people, who don’t live in rural communities? Why squeeze us under the bus? Protection is admirable, but are we protecting it at the expense of the health and well-being of the majority of people in our state?
