We need just 5 more responses to reach our goal.

Our reader survey closes tonight, and we're just five responses short of our goal of hearing from 100 of you.
If you've been meaning to fill it out, now's your chance to put us over the top. It takes only five minutes, and your answers go directly into decisions we're making right now — about our website, our coverage, how we tell our story and how we tell the stories of people around the basin.
This survey matters. We cover water wars, pesticide exposures and toxic air emissions because someone has to — and because you keep reading. We want to make sure we're covering the right things, in the right ways, for the right people. This is how we find out.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Chas Sisk
