So why is Dianne Feinstein blocking water recovery projects for drought-stricken California?

A TWS article reveals the hypocrisy of Democrats when it comes to law-making.

Using an example of CA Senator Feinstein, the story notes that Democrats have, of a sudden, become vociferous in their protests against adding riders to legislation.

(It goes without saying that they were happy to use the process when it served their purposes…but now that Republicans are a majority in Congress? Riders are b-a-d.)

But the intriguing part isn’t the hypocrisy…that’s typical behavior of Democrats when they’re in the minority. Question is, why is a CA senator blocking access to water?

Feinstein has been blocking a water-recovery project in the San Bernardino desert for years, and continues doing so, with the very rider process she now opposes!

California is going through a drought, primarily because of environmentalists who have fought to stop any water-capture infrastructure projects for decades. (As a result, 50% of all rainfall and/or snow-melt flows to the ocean, year after year.)

So, why is Feinstein blocking much-needed water from being recovered? Reports show ‘hundreds of billions of gallons’ of underground water could be retrieved…

…otherwise, an Environmental Impact Report says it will be lost to evaporation.

(Besides, how does taking underground water make a desert less of a desert?)

Knowing Democrats like Senator Feinstein, it’s not about environmentalism…it’s more about who donates to her campaign re-election coffers. Big money=big favors

Sadly, Californians are paying the price of her tactics…

…having to drastically conserve on the one hand, then when municipalities realize their revenues are falling as a result, they’re hit with higher water bills anyway.

So, hey, drop her a line…let her know how you feel.
