He was addressing the Executive Director of Ormat Technology, Paul Thomsen and Pat Hayes, General Manager for the Mammoth Community Water District (MCWD) at a County Supervisor meeting on Tuesday, May 15.

Hayes came before the Mono Supervisors Tuesday and Mammoth Town Council Wednesday asking for support of a letter MCWD plans to send to Governor Jerry Brown, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke and Senator Dianne Feinstein, among others.
