Representative Jerry McNerney (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5055, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would remove provisions in the bill that threaten protections for California’s salmon, migratory birds, and other fish and wildlife along with the thousands of jobs that rely on the health of these species. These dangerous riders undermine the legal settlement governing the restoration of the San Joaquin River and would violate the biological opinions under the Endangered Species Act that protect salmon and other endangered fish in California’s Bay-Delta estuary. On May 25, the House rejected the McNerney amendment by a vote of 169-247 (House roll call vote 242). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
