Washington DC – Today, Congressman Devin Nunes reacted to the failure of Democratic leaders to support his water amendment to the 2010 Energy and Water spending bill.
“For those who doubt the validity of my concerns about the Democratic Party – tonight’s vote offers even more insight. At this point, it should be clear to everyone that the American people are no longer the constituents of Democrats in Congress. People and communities have been replaced by a parade of extreme environmental activists and their misguided causes,” said Rep. Nunes.
During Tuesday’s late night committee meeting, the House Appropriations Committee voted 25 to 33 to kill an amendment that would have restored water deliveries to parched San Joaquin Valley communities. Only three of thirty-seven Democrats broke ranks and joined Republicans in support of the Nunes amendment.
Passage of the amendment would have put on hold biological decisions that have shut down delta pumps – creating dust-bowl like conditions in the San Joaquin Valley. The Congressional injunction would have given Congress time to implement a more permanent solution.
