(KGTV) — This week, we're taking 10Talks out into the field. Republican candidate for governor Steve Hilton met Kimberly Hunt at the border to see the Tijuana sewage crisis firsthand.
Hilton said during the conversation that, as governor, he would declare a state of emergency.
"How is this not an emergency? How is this not something that obviously requires the governor of the state where this is happening to just get on top of it and take some action?" Hilton said.
"And it starts with the declaration of the state of emergency, cause all the local leaders here have explained that that is what begins the process of solving it, um, amazing. Well, of course, I would do that as governor, of course. It's the least you can do."
