"The Confused
What was even more disturbing is that Congressman Jerry McNerney (D-District 11) abandoned his Delta constituents and voted in favor of the Nunes amendment. Congressman McNerney's staff said that it was a difficult vote for the Congressman and that he was concerned about water deliveries for the City of Stockton and Stockton East water users.
Unfortunately, Congressman McNerney did not consult with Restore the Delta staff and other area activists on suggestions for helping agencies in need of water in San Joaquin County. Instead, he chose one group of constituents against the majority of his supporters and voters in San Joaquin County. Even worse, he voted against the Delta farming and fishing economies.
The people of the Delta have a long memory, and we will keep a close eye on Congressman McNerney's votes from this day forward."
