Republican Representatives Urge Interior to Use Best Available Science

Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-22), along with Congressmen Ken Calvert (R-44), Jerry Lewis (R-41), Gary Miller (R-42), Devin Nunes (R-21) and Dana Rohrabacher (R-46), sent a letter on Dec. 5 to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar demanding that the new Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Smelt biological opinion be grounded in the best available science. The existing opinion was recently struck down by a Federal court and ordered to be redone.
