The nitwit is trying to gain support for removing 4 dams on the lower Snake and Colombia rivers.
Hopefully, this effort will result in his sorry butt being defeated in the Republican primaries this year.

After 26 years, the hammer is finally coming down on the Peninsula’s water use. Will we have enough to avoid water rationing?
AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, THE MONTEREY PENINSULA WILL BE THRUST INTO A NEW WATER REALITY. It will be the first year in at least 140 that residents and businesses will receive most of their water from a source other than the Carmel River. This is not a choice but a reprimand 26 years in the making that will force the Peninsula into an immediate period of water instability unseen since the 1970s.
