BUSLOADS OF FARMERS ROLL INTO SAN FRANCISCO... MIFFED ABOUT FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS RESTRICTING THEIR ACCESS TO CHEAP WATER.
SEVERAL HUNDRED FARMERS SHOWED UP MONDAY OUTSIDE CONGRESSWOMAN NANCY PELOSI'S SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE.
MANY BEGAN SHOUTING "TURN ON THE PUMPS!"
THE PUMPS THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT... PUMP WATER FROM THE SACRAMENTO RIVER DELTA TO FARMLANDS IN THE CENTRAL SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY.
JIM WALLS IS ONE OF MANY FARMERS UPSET.
HE SAYS HIS FARM DEPENDS ON THE WATER SUPPLY.
WALLS says: "I've grown onions and garlic and tomatoes. Cotton, wheat, barley, safflower."
WALLS says: "The more water that they've taken away from us, the worse the situation's gotten with the fish."
WALLS says: "It just doesn't make any logical sense that the more water they've taken away from the farmer, the more the fisheries have declined. Those two just don't, they just don't add up."
POOL says: "The courts have looked at it for three years; the scientists have looked at it for three years. Under current conditions in the delta, salmon cannot survive."
POOL says: "It's not a few fish versus people, its people versus people, job versus job and food versus food."
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS CONTINUED TO CUTBACK ON WATER FOR FARMING IN ORDER TO PROTECT FISH.
