California Gubernatorial Candidate Steve Hilton Pledges Major Reforms for Agriculture and Energy Policies
Steve Hilton, a candidate for governor in California, has outlined his vision for the state's agriculture and energy policies during an interview with 'The Ag Meter.' Hilton criticized the current administration for neglecting the agricultural sector, which he claims is burdened by excessive regulations, high energy costs, and restrictive water policies. He promised that, if elected, his administration would prioritize the needs of farmers and ranchers, particularly in regions like the Central Valley and Imperial Valley. Hilton plans to increase water deliveries to farms by changing current environmental water diversion policies and criticized the State Water Resources Control Board for its handling of water resources. He also addressed the high energy costs driven by state climate regulations, which he argues are financially straining the agricultural sector.
