Robert Potts Quotations

If it doesn't rain much more over the next couple of months, we'll probably be in conservation-restriction mode by summer.

We've got to have some more people. There's no way that we can do what we are expected to do without having some more positions. We are really in a difficult situation.

We actually had pretty good rainfall the first three months, so if you think about just the past nine months, it's been exceptionally dry.

It needs to continue and it's not just a one-time event that is going to end the drought from last year. It needs to be a number of rain events over time.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much rain we get. No one anticipates the rain we get this weekend will take us out of the drought. A week from now we'll still be in a drought.

If there's one thing that strikes you when you look at both the state (organization) chart for governance and ours, it's how convoluted it is. This needs to be streamlined ... but we've got to have the confidence and the support of the campuses when we do that.
