Today the U.S.
House of Representatives passed its fourth major California water
bill in less than four years. Once again, we are moving legislation that
will ease the devastating water crisis that is wreaking havoc on the Central
Valley economy and pushing useful farmland out
of production.
Although the
White House and many congressional Democrats resisted all our previous efforts
and are already opposing
the new bill, we are working to convince them that something has to be done. As
thirsty Central Valley farmers and families continue to watch their water get
flushed into the ocean due to ever-expanding environmental regulations, it’s
long past time that the government stop prioritizing fish over families.
