Senate Democratic Leader announces appt. to the WIFA Board. 

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Senate Democratic Leader Rebecca Rios proudly announces a new appointment.

Accordingly, in a press release, Rios appointed Susan Montgomery to the Water Infrastructure Finance Advisory (WIFA) Board.

For further context, SB1740 passed and signed in June, making desperately needed enhancements to WIFA.

These enhancements will manage the historic $1.2 billion appropriation passed to address the water crisis facing Arizona.

Furthermore, this investment will ensure that Arizona citizens continue to see water supply for the next 100 years.

Montgomery's appointment

Nevertheless, Montgomery's experience representing tribal governments make her qualified for this position.

Her representative accomplishments are numerous, covering areas such as Tribal law, Environmental law, Water law, and Cultural Resource Law.

“Susan Montgomery is uniquely qualified to serve Arizona on the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority Board. Her many years of experience dealing with the technical aspects of water policy, quality, and infrastructure development, have shaped her ability to direct the use of taxpayer dollars with the utmost sense of responsibility,” said Rios.

Additionally, “Arizona is experiencing a water supply crisis that will only continue to grow, without swift action from the most competent water experts. After diligently looking at all applicants, we are confident that Ms. Montgomery will work to ensure quality water supply for all Arizonans for generations to come.”
