No, but we need to fix a broken water system, don't you think?

If we further weaken fisheries protections, we need to think about what comes next.

California's anadromous fisheries are hanging on by a thread.

We have tried everything possible to try to, in effect, bring together a bipartisan effort to fix what is a broken water system in California.

Let me tell you something. That is unacceptable, it is avoidable, and it is immoral.

Let's be clear. I mean we have been operating these projects during these drought conditions for one first priority only, and that is to try to protect the survivability of Delta smelt and other species.

This 4 years of drought has highlighted the inability of the water system that we have in California, the Federal and the state water projects, to meet all of the demands that are now asked of them.

Californians simply do not support sacrificing California's environment primarily for the benefit of a small number of agricultural water users.

My drought legislation would update these regulations, allowing water managers to use forecast-based decisionmaking for flood control releases, so we can save precious water supplies during drought.

this is not only a social economic injustice issue that so many people in the San Joaquin Valley, 4 million people, have been impacted because their very existence is threatened by whether or not they will have a reliable water supply in…

It is a national security issue and we don't treat it like a national security issue.

I want to commend you for your years of service to our country and to American agriculture.

I am having a very difficult time explaining that to my farmers back home who are going out of business.
