Whitman had this to say about the importance of the ranchers and growers who are the backbone of the state's multi-billion dollar agriculture industry...

"California's growers and ranchers are immense contributors to our state. They help feed our nation and they generate more than $100 billion a year in agriculture and related economic activity," Whitman said.  "We all want a strong future for California, and we must create a strong economy in which all of our key industries, including agriculture, can thrive. I will work with my agriculture coalition to make comprehensive improvements to our water supply system, support a healthy environment and encourage sensible laws that don't strangle growth and innovation."

"I will work with my agriculture coalition to make comprehensive improvements to our water supply system" Will Whitman sttand up to the Federal gov't and her senator, Boxer, to open the valves for Central Valley farmers - regardless of slippery fish? Grandiose praise for the agricultural community is worthless, unless it is back up with firm, honest support.
