Dear Editor,
Why does it take a Republican Senator from South Carolina (Jim DeMint) to try and get the water turned back on to the California Central Valley when both Boxer and Feinstein voted AGAINST it? Feinstein was quoted as saying, “I’m not going to put the state of California and the Bay Delta in the threat of another lawsuit. We have enough already and water is a huge, difficult and complicated issue…”
What’s so complicated about Boxer and Feinstein putting the needs of fish ahead of the needs of her constituents? Boxer’s response was even worse; a multi-million dollar construction project that would take years to complete. These people in the Central Valley need our help NOW!
Mr. DeMint said it more clearly. “Unlike most of the big government solutions coming out of Washington that cost taxpayers billions, this amendment doesn’t cost a single penny. We can turn the water on so thousands of Central Valley farmers can get back to work without creating another federal program or bailing out another industry.” Why don’t our own senators think like this?
So let me get this straight. A Republican Senator from South Carolina cares more about the citizens of central California than do the California Democrat Senators? We need “CHANGE” in California now more than ever!
