Kern Congressmen seek documents from feds over drought
On Wednesday, Kern’s Congressmen Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) and David Valadao (R-Hanford) sent a letter to the Interior Secretary requesting documents related to her review of the 2019 Biological Opinions. The opinions determined operations for the Central Valley Project and California State Water Project did not jeopardize endangered species. Valadao noted if the review ended with a reversal of the decision, it would be detrimental for our local economy and Valley farmers.
