Valadao Releases Statement on Feinstein Water Proposal

WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative David G. Valadao (CA-21) issued the following statement regarding the release of Senator Dianne Feinstein’s water proposal:

“Six weeks ago, Senator Feinstein promised to introduce water legislation in the Senate. While she was finally able to put forward a proposal, there is significant work to be done. With millions of gallons of water flowing out into the ocean every day, throwing taxpayer dollars at this problem will not provide those suffering with the drought relief they so desperately need. While on its own Senator Feinstein’s legislation will not increase water flows to the Valley, I can only hope that Senator Feinstein is able to secure passage of her legislation in the Senate so that the two Chambers may go to Conference to reconcile the differences between the two bills.”

Congressman David G. Valadao represents the 21st Congressional District, which includes Kings County and portions of Fresno, Tulare, and Kern Counties.
