Nunes reacts to Senate passage of the San Joaquin River Settlement

“Today’s action by the Senate is fiscally irresponsible.  It represents an attack on our local economy during a period of national economic crisis and will deprive our region of precious surface water at a time of critical shortage,” said Rep. Nunes.

Congressman Nunes, who represents the vast majority of Californian’s impacted by the San Joaquin River settlement, has worked tirelessly to present alternatives to Friant and the Natural Resources Defense Council.  However, all alternatives were summarily dismissed and Democrat leaders have blocked amendments.
