YAKIMA – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the following statement on the passing of Jim Trull, manager of the Sunnyside Valley Irrigation District:

"Jim Trull was recognized and sought out in the Lower Valley, our state, and throughout the western United States as an expert who understood complicated western water law.
