GOP pushes California drought bill Democrats call irresponsible
By Michael Doyle
McClatchy Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON -- California congressional Republicans escalated the anti-drought pressure Wednesday, introducing an ambitious California water bill that includes controversial provisions immediately dismissed by the state’s two Democratic senators.
Authored by San Joaquin Valley lawmakers, but backed by the state’s united GOP House delegation, the far-reaching water package would repeal a San Joaquin River restoration program, lengthen irrigation contracts and cap the delivery of water for environmental purposes, among many other provisions.
And within hours of its introduction, the bill also incited bad blood, harsh words and doubts about its long-term prospects.

How "brain-dead" are both the Republicans and Democrats re: Water Conservation/anti-drought proposals.
Congress approved "TRILLIONS" of dollars for "ONE" fiscal year 2014, and $533 Billion to fund NSA's NDAA yet we can't build Desalination plants that remove the SALT from oceans of free salt water right at California's doorstep??
