Gov. Katie Hobbs’ administration on Monday announced two steps to stop a controversial Saudi Arabian company from using groundwater beneath state land in western Arizona to grow and export alfalfa.
Hobbs said in a statement that the Arizona State Land Department had canceled one of its leases to Fondomonte Arizona, and would not renew three others that are set to expire in February.
Every local news network has been covering it, for reference. It’s pretty universally popular since it’s a Saudi owned farm thats growing super, super wasteful alfalfa in the fucking desert.
Tbh, on the political front it’s kind of a meatball thrown to Katie Hobbs, not that I’ll be upset about that at all. Conservatives should never get their hands on the governorship again.
Well I’m glad she knocked that meatball right out of the park. I’m going to be watching your Senate race as soon as the primaries are over.
