Municipal Water Assessment

The League is pleased to support the effort of Senator Gail Griffin to repeal the $7 million assessment imposed on cities and towns by the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The assessment (to which the League agreed last year as a one-year measure to help alleviate the state budget crisis) represents an inequitable burden on residents of cities and towns.

In response to the senator's specific request, we are asking all cities and towns to contact their legislators to: 1) urge them to sign on to the Griffin bill as a cosponsor, and 2) affirmatively support the measure as it moves through the legislative process.

Because the Legislature is in session and bill introduction deadlines are approaching, time is of the essence. Please send copies of your correspondence to both the League (jogsbury@azleague.org) and to Senator Griffin (ggriffin@azleg.gov) so that we can demonstrate the unified support of Arizona's municipalities.
