Jerry McNerney Says Bill Perpetuates Water War in Western U.S.

California Congressman Jerry McNerney offers an amendment to a spending bill that would strike provisions related to California state water projects. McNerney says that the bill at hand contains policy provisions that would further drain freshwater from the California delta with overpumping, misstates California water law and perpetuates a water war in the West at a time when people are working to bridge those divides. McNerney argues that the lack of water is the biggest threat, not operational flexibility.
