“Yesterday afternoon, the Senate passed legislation from Sen. McSally to formalize a landmark drought contingency plan for the Colorado River Basin. Our Senate colleagues from the West have been working with state and local leaders for years to develop this bipartisan, bicameral solution. Seven states, countless local and tribal authorities, and both the U.S. and Mexico have skin in this game, so hammering out this coordinated plan was no small feat. “But now that this agreement will be codified in federal law, tens of millions of Americans will be able to rest easier, knowing that their supply of drinking water and irrigation will be better protected from water shortages. I want to congratulate all of our colleagues who worked hard to make this happen, particularly Sen. McSally and Sen. Gardner, who have been strong voices for this agreement and for the people of Arizona and Colorado. I look forward to the President signing this into law in the very near future.” “Yesterday afternoon, the Senate passed legislation from Sen.
