Dear Senator Feinstein,
"It's my understanding that you intend to place a proposal to establish a minimum water allocation for California agriculture over the next two years regardless of the availability of water from run-off/storage. I want to strongly oppose any introduction of such a proposal until after completion of the review by the National Academy of science (you commissioned) is completed and results are available for review. Any such proposal would tend to undermine credibility of the review and the current order/oversight by the USDC in Fresno.
I support the NMFS Biological Opinion and Judge Wengers decision/oversight, which favors pumping restrictions in order to preserve the Delta Smelt/Sacramento River's chinook salmon runs. Spawning of both species are at historically low numbers, and without adequate flows and safe passage to the ocean, they are likely to be pushed go extinction."
"America is a country which produces citizens who will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won't cross the street to vote."
