This legislation is critical to the protection of California’s unique and treasured desert landscapes and wildlife. Water extraction projects must be subject to the highest standards of environmental review. For these reasons, I support SB 120 and urge its quick adoption. This letter reflects the support solely of its author. Sincerely, ERIC GARCETTI Mayor Cc: Honorable Members and Consultants, Assembly Committee on Natural Resources The Honorable Richard Roth, State Senate District 31
