From Restore the Delta
A review of federal election campaign contributions reveals that Parsons Corporation, an international infrastructure contractor with 13 offices (including its headquarters) in California and 106 worldwide, has contributed to campaign coffers not only of Riverside Republican House member Ken Calvert but House majority leader Kevin McCarthy, Republican of Bakersfield.

Executive Director of Restore the Delta, Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla commented,
“Since our inception, Restore the Delta has followed the rule of law, whether engaging constructively with available due processes such as hearings on the Tunnels before the State Water Board and Delta Stewardship Council, or peaceably assembling for rallies on public grounds such as the State Capitol and other venues. It is deeply disappointing that neither California Governor Jerry Brown, State Attorney General Xavier Becerra, nor House whip McCarthy have spoken out against the affront to civil rights and due process that Section 437 of the House Interior Appropriations bill represents. However, we are grateful that Senator Feinstein has expressed her opposition to the rider as reported by the Los Angeles Times. We hope to see Senator Harris take a position against the rider in the near future.”

Hopefully enough people fighting the good fight can ward off these self serving politicians. I want MY Delta fishery to be around for my great grandkids and generations beyond that....
