It's been a long slog at the Legislature. We are at the end and close to getting legislation passed to strengthen our aquifer district, protect our wells, and ensure equitable water sharing. We need one last urgent push from you. Please email or call Senator Donna Campbell. Tell her your story (e.g., you're a well owner in Hays County, you're a business owner in Wimberley, you rely on groundwater for your house, etc) and ask that she please support the Hays Trinity amendment to SB 1253 by supporting the motion to concur. Donna.campbell@senate.texas.gov or 512-463-0125. This is the last stretch and we need your help tonight and tomorrow morning as the Senate will vote on this bill sometime tomorrow. Thank you! Please share with your neighbors and friends and ask them to do the same. (fb)
