My commission from the Governor ran out on ran out in September and I got put in on Monday for a 3 year extension.
The State water plant I received the 1st draft and we expect to have the 1st draft completed for public review in March and submitted to State committees for review. They are looking to have the state water plan completed by August and approved by the governor but it looks like the committees are going to ongoing forever.
