U.S. Reps work to secure drought resiliency funding for Ariz.

There's a new bipartisan push to secure drought resiliency funding for the Southwest. Arizona U.S. Representatives Greg Stanton and Andy Biggs sent a letter to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation asking for at least $450 million in Inflation Reduction Act funding to be released for water projects. Biggs says it should be used to get the desalination plant in Yuma up and running.
