CALL: Atkins. Bloom. Mitchell. Water. Lies. Money. August 29th

If you live in these districts we need you to call your Assembly & State Reps:

Assemblyman Richard Bloom's District  Tel: (916) 319-2050
State Senator Holly Mitchell's District Phone: (916) 651-4030
President of the Senate Toni Atkins District Phone: (916) 651-4039
Speaker of Assembly Anthony Rendon District   Tel: (916) 319-2063

Food&Water Watch & Restore the Delta have alerted us all that nonsense is going down in Sacramento.  

We have 1 day to stop a hearing that is scheduled for August 30.   This informational  hearing (at the direction of Holly Mitchell) if it goes forward will allow a contract with water agencies to go until the year 2085.    That is nearly 70 years from now.  What makes it even worse is that they don't have all the financial studies in hand before they are having this hearing.   It is misguided.  

Their goal is simple.  They want the hearing to go forward so that contracts can be AUTOMATICALLY extended without a vote.  Which happens after a hearing.   

That is hideous.    And once that happens it goes to Toni Atkins who can sign off.   

And if that was not bad enough,  Assemblyman Richard Bloom has added an amendment to bill 2649 that removes oversight of this project.    
Removing oversight on a project that uses funds that can go until 2085 is unconscionable.   

Stop it.  Only you can do it.  

Tell Atkins, Mitchell & Rendon: 

"Your upcoming decision on the State Water Contract will impact taxpayers and our water throughout the entire State of California. I urge you to delay the informational hearing until all information regarding financing of the Delta tunnels has been provided to the legislature and public input can be given. It is completely irresponsible to give no notice of a public meeting, and by proxy discourage input from constituents. It is also irresponsible that legislators are expected to make an informed decision without access to contract amendments and no idea what the cost impacts would be for taxpayers and water ratepayers.” 

Tell Bloom:

I urge Assemblyman Bloom  to pull the bad bill he introduced   AB2649  to remove basic oversight on the DELTA TUNNELS  and the state water contract. It's outrageous that CA elected democrats are considering this when the Trump administration is trying to take control of California Delta water! We need more oversight and public transparency on the state water contract and tunnels – not less! Pull AB2649!
