On January 25 of this year, Northern California District Four Congressional Rep Tom McClintock held a Town Hall Meeting in Bakersfield, hundreds of miles SOUTH of his district for the Kern County farmers.
McClintock's meeting was a separate meeting from the previously scheduled Los Angeles meeting held just 24 hours before. The Los Angeles meeting included most of the California's federal and state legislators who have been working on California's Water issue for years.
Then just a week later, Feb. 4, back in Washington D.C., McClintock held a Water and Power Sub-committee meeting demanding that the "Tracy Pumps be turned back on."
What about the water issues in his own district? McClintock doesn't live down there any more. He moved up here after he was elected to our district. What about protecting the "Gold Country" water rights?
When El Dorado County and Placer County's water districts and agencies were asked what they thought about McClintock's actions, they were shocked. They had no idea he was down there fighting to get more of the Delta water.
This is the link to McClintock's argument for the Kern County farmers to get more of the "Delta Water."
