Verde Valley News – What should the Board of Supervisors do to improve groundwater management in rural Arizona? Should the Supervisors take action to protect the Verde River, the only surviving living river in Arizona?
Candidates for the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors in Districts 1- 5 will be discussing these water related questions and more during three virtual interviews conducted by the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG). The Forums will be live on Zoom at these times:
- June 28 at 1 pm for Districts 2 and 3 representing the Verde Valley.
- June 29 at 10 am for District 1 covering the Prescott area.
- June 29 at 1 pm for Districts 4 and 5 covering Paulden, Chino Valley, and Prescott Valley.
Recordings of the Forums will be available for later viewing.
To attend the free live events, citizens must pre-register at cwagaz.org.
The candidates will be provided with the questions and a set of basic facts in advance of the forum. This valuable background information and a map of the Supervisor’s districts is posted at www.cwagaz.org. Click on “2024 Candidate Forum” under “Current Issues.”
CWAG is nonpartisan, but all water issues are political. The purpose of the candidate forums is to insert water policy into our political and electoral dialogue and to inform voters and candidates about water issues.
CWAG is a local citizens group advocating for a sustainable water future for the Prescott region and central Yavapai County, and for the protection of the upper Verde River. For more information, visit www.cwagaz.org, call 445-4218, or email info@cwagaz.org.
