U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins took to social media over the weekend to raise concern about dam removal on California’s Eel River, even suggesting that the Trump administration may intervene to stop or revise the project. Rollins, on X, cited the loss of water for cities and farms that would come with plans to remove two dams in Mendocino and Lake counties while also invoking well-worn Republican criticism about California “putting fish over people.” … In the post, the agriculture secretary said she was working with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to bring “real solutions” for securing Northern California water supplies.
