@BjaminWood Definitely not my intent Ben. I was disappointed in the Times, not because they were critical, but because they just failed to cover several big policy changes. Seems if you are going to write the big piece on the lake you would include what’s being done. — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
One last thought: I link to lots of local news sources because they are doing excellent work. I highly recommend reading and supporting local news. These journalists are in the trenches every day and are better at explaining the good and the mistakes we make. — PolitiTweet.org

PPS I know it’s fun to mock people of faith for believing that God can bring rain and temper the elements. I think God expects us to work and care for the precious resources he has given us. He expects us to conserve. But I will keep praying and asking people of faith to join me. — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
PS Remember this guy from the NYTimes article? I just hired him to be the new Director of Natural Resources for our state. Joel is an amazing legislator and cares deeply about saving the Great Salt Lake. https://t.co/cBu0kTlLHM — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
But I know that we can do hard things. I’m grateful to everyone that has watered their yards and crops less. Shared sacrifice is difficult but critical in times of crisis. Thank you for your willingness to conserve water. It will take all of us to save the Great Salt Lake! — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
Ok, there’s much more happening and much more to do. Expect several more bills and more funding requests on the Great Salt Lake and water conservation in general. We have been in drought for 20 years. I don’t know if this is a 21 year drought or a 30 or 50 year drought… — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
That’s enough water to completely fill Rockport Reservoir every year. And to those of you who are really interested in farming, this may come as a shock, but most of what you see on twitter is wrong (example: only 15% of hay is sold out of state): https://t.co/EzWqrEpN8G — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
But what about farmers you ask? (Ok, some of you scream it, but still). Again the legislature came through, appropriating $70M to renew a 2019 Ag Optimization grant that helps farmers enhance systems. Estimated water savings from the program? 65,000 acre-feet/year! — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
And speaking of funding, none of this happens if the legislature doesn’t appropriate money for these heavy policy lifts. Again, legislators came through, appropriating an historic $500M, including the first statewide turf buyback program in the country. https://t.co/qyftcHrZZG — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
Even better, $40M has been set aside to purchase that water and enhance the GSL watershed. At a recent National Audubon Board of Directors meeting, I was pleased to announce that Audubon and The Nature Conservancy had been selected to lead that effort. https://t.co/IEGhztduD6 — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
Perhaps the most important bill (that got very little attention) changed over 100 years of water law to allow water rights holders to let their water go to the GSL without losing those rights. This is a game changer! We are in talks with some big shareholders that want to help. — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
I honestly thought it would take years to get these bills passed, but the legislature stepped up in a HUGE way. It’s not hyperbole to say there were more conservation measures enacted this year than our entire history combined. Here are some of those major policy changes: https://t.co/YyDmnu5uE7 — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
With more than a dozen bills focused on water, it was critical to have the support of the entire legislature, so leadership partnered with the National Guard to fly legislators over the lake to help them understand the enormity/gravity of the situation. https://t.co/tdynKL7eTL — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
We are lucky to have strong legislative leadership on this issue, especially Speaker Brad Wilson and Pres. Stuart Adams. In fact, Speaker Wilson has hosted multiple conferences with some of the best experts in the world to study the lake and solutions. https://t.co/FZ4qFVDFNH — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
But let’s start last fall when I released my proposed budget for the next fiscal year (which just began on 7/1). I chose Antelope Island with the GSL as the back drop in an attempt to draw more attention to the shrinking lake and the need for action. https://t.co/5M2NkrHf6g https://t.co/Kxi7A4LWOh — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
Sadly the Times/Oliver failed to research/report most of the work that has been done on these issues…so I thought it might be helpful to put as much of it as possible in an easy thread for anyone that is really interested. The experts agree, these are not just baby steps. https://t.co/qgu4qASeLd — PolitiTweet.org
Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox
🧵I’m excited to see so many new people interested in water policy/drought/saving the Great Salt Lake over the past couple weeks! Unfortunately many have gotten their information from the NYTimes or John Oliver…so let me share with you some BIG changes we’ve made just this year. — PolitiTweet.org
