CASA GRANDE — Water concerns and highway expansion highlighted the issues raised by a panel of area leaders during a roundtable discussion Wednesday afternoon with U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz.
Although some mayors present mentioned bringing new water to the county, Maricopa Mayor Christian Price asked for help to keep it off the roads. Funding for flood prevention within Pinal County and Arizona overall became a surprising topic of conversation.
“I explained to colleagues we don’t get a lot of water in Arizona,” Sinema said, “but when it does come, it comes real fast and there’s nowhere for it to go.”
