@CCPISASSH0E I can absolutely tell you from personal experience that it is genuine. I got a “talking to” from the Brits I worked with at a London pub many years ago informing me that this business of rinsing the dishes was just not how it was done. I’ve related that story a million times.

@stevenfhayward It does look like they got the USAID federal employee discount, yeah.

@sbarchenger @azcapmedia @GovernorHobbs Congratulations, Howie! They really ought to name this one the Glutton for Punishment Award. Really well deserved.

GRIC Gov Lewis: The (GRIC) Community is very engaged with those Basin stakeholders and our federal partner to find a path toward consensus. Lewis advocates for creation of designated pools of water to protect the system overall. Supports Lower Basin alternative. #azwater

[Doug MacEachern @MacEachernDoug]

Buschatzke: Upper Basin has not put one gallon of reductions on the table. This is a visceral issue. A giant chasm.

Arizona lost two important people who helped us learn and understand the news: Michael Grant who hosted Horizon for a quarter century, and Jana Bommersbach who was an editor at New Times and a book author. Both helped shape Arizona into what it is today. RIP.😢
