Dianne Feinstein is doing a Pombo on the Endangered Species Act, with an Amendment to gut it in an upcoming Democratic “Bipartisanship Enhanced” jobs bill.
Like Salmon ? Too bad ! McClintock’s in on it, too.
Hey, this even makes the Kansas City Star. Everything’s up to date in Kansas City. Dead silence at a certain other “Democratic” blog.
http://www.kansascity.com/400/… Feinstein plan would loosen Endangered Species Act to pump more water 2/11/2010
Yes, our northern CA based Sen. DiFi thinks Billionaire Business Water Brokers in Kern County of Southern CA Who Donate To Her Campaign Are More Important Than Salmon. So Does Tom McClintock.
She intends to put an amendment that says we can ignore the Endangered Species Act, onto the upcoming jobs bill to let more water be pumped out of the Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta. Why does this matter ? Because at certain times of the year, the nursery fish need the water to swim and feed in. And the West Coast salmon runs are at the brink of going away. Forever.
{{{ “This came as a bit of a shock that she did this,” said Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif.
He represents California’s North Coast, which has been hurt by two years of bans on commercial salmon fishing stemming from collapsing salmon stocks.
“If this were to go through, it would have a devastating impact on Northern California and other jobs and other economies in the state,” Thompson said. }}}
Where the hell have you been, Blue Dog Rep. Thompson ? Didn’t you notice the real reason so many people up here in northern CA 04 DIDN’T WANT Carpetbagging Tom MCCLINTOCK of Southern CA pimping for these Southern CAL business sharks to take water out of Norcal and kill off our agriculture and wildlife ? He’s running the exact same playbook that former Republican Rep. John Doolittle ran with Dick Cheney and the suckerfish up in the Klamoth river drainage.
