Assistant Agriculture Secretary Richard Meyer resigns
Richard Meyer resigns after refusing to stop lobbying against an old 1902 federal water law affecting his Imperial Valley land. He held about 2,000 acres in Brawley California and arranged meetings at the White House and Capitol Hill as a private citizen. The dispute centers on limits for irrigation water access to farms under 160 acres, a regulation the Interior Department plans to enforce amid Western landholder opposition. Meyer says he acted as an individual and did nothing improper.
