SAN DIEGO – San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer on Tuesday plans to present a policy addressing the impacts of the Tijuana sewage crisis to the full Board of Supervisors.
"If the board approves this on Tuesday, it goes beyond just requesting more money," Lawson-Remer said in a press conference Monday."We're going to increase our commitment to protecting our beaches, bays, and coastlines by putting clean water and public health first and foremost."Aguirre said in a press conference at the Tijuana River Estuary on Monday that despite her efforts, conversations at the state and federal levels have not been successful.
Aguirre said at her second presser Monday with Lawson-Remer that the crisis has already received hundreds of millions of dollars to fix two separate wastewater treatment plants, but the crisis needs to be tackled at its source.
