• A LETTER TO GOVERNOR BROWN
  
  August 16, 2011
  
  The Honorable Edmund G. Brown, Jr.
  Governor, California State Assembly
  State Capitol, First Floor
  Sacramento, California 95814
  
  Dear Governor Brown:
  
  I don’t have to tell you these are tough times. Our stalled economic recovery has forced painful cuts to vital services – and the threat of deeper cuts continues to grow. As President and CEO of Granite Construction, Incorporated, one of the largest civil contractors and construction materials producers in California, I can relate to the tough choices you have had to make.
  
  A very important initiative for both the State of California and Granite is the Liberty Quarry project located on the Riverside and San Diego County border. It has come to our attention that an eleventh-hour bill has been drafted to kill Liberty Quarry and the benefits it will bring to California..
