Press Releases
I was extremely disappointed that on the same day we learned that the Northern Sierra snowpack is at 125% percent of normal, peeling away rhetoric that could only be best described as self-serving and deceptive, the administration has only actually committed to releasing 5% percent of water deliveries owed to the Central Valley, with the remaining 25% contingent on remaining precipitation.
At a time when Californians are paying the highest electricity prices in the Continental United States and when officials can’t guarantee enough electricity to keep the lights on, the decision to deliberately destroy 155 megawatts of the cleanest and cheapest electricity available is simply insane.

Opening Statement
Congressman Tom McClintock
House Water and Power Sub-Committee
February 4, 2010.
Last week, Republicans held a listening forum in Fresno to hear directly from the people of California’s Central Valley who have been devastated by the federal government’s willful decision to turn off their water to indulge the environmental left’s pet causes.
“It is disappointing that after a year of failed bank bailouts and reckless spending has failed to produce real jobs, the President seems to be doubling down. I suppose it is human nature that the more we invest in our mistakes, the less willing we are to admit them. But it doesn’t make for wise public policy.
“America’s future prosperity depends on restoring freedom of enterprise, not interposing government into every aspect of our lives. That’s what the stunning reversal in the polls and at the polls is telling the President, but he doesn’t seem to be listening.”
The Agony of the Central Valley
House Chamber, Washington D.C.
January 26, 2010
Madam Speaker:
For many months, the Republicans on the Water and Power Sub-Committee of the House Natural Resources Committee have implored the majority Democrats to hold a hearing in the Central Valley of California to see and hear for themselves the damage that the federal government has caused by diverting 200 billion gallons of water away from Central Valley farms in order to indulge the environmental Left’s pet cause, the Delta Smelt.
