"the Settlement has two goals--restore the river system and salmon fishery and avoid or reduce water supply impacts to CVP contractors."

"We cannot risk any further declines. People's livelihoods and families are at stake."

"There should be no objection to this legislation as a very practical kind of no nonsense way to facilitate water use in a valley that's really hard pressed."

"Loss of salmon is, frankly, a disaster for our state."
