Washington, DC – In response to the Trump administration’s announcement that it would not support the California WaterFix Project, Congressman Jerry McNerney (CA-09) issued the following statement:
“Long before this administration weighed in, the controversial tunnels proposal has been based on flawed science and funding assumptions without even achieving water sustainability for the state. Most recently, support has shifted away from the project due to its excessive cost that comes with no assurance of prolonged results. For these reasons, opposition to the tunnels continues to grow.
“There are many viable alternatives and forward-thinking approaches that will modernize our water system. My new legislation, the WEST Act, focuses on these tangible, commonsense solutions, including conservation, efficiency, recycling, and water capture.
“It’s time to change the narrative. The WEST Act is the product of extensive engagement and consultation with a diverse group of stakeholders – including farmers, technology innovators, industry and community leaders – and provides proactive, long-term solutions to California’s water challenges. This legislation offers a path forward for Californians, and I will continue to work with state leaders to find sustainable and achievable water solutions for California.”

That embasile in the White House finally did something right.
Your President has been doing a lot right, funny that McNerney can’t even admit that in his statement.
Funny how Donny boy didn’t mention the twin tunnels being Brown’s goofy and destructive idea. Had to try to make President Trump look bad. Didn’t work. Using “embasile” makes you look even more like an imbecile. Get it right next time if you are going to attack someone.
Good call Joe.
