Washington, DC — Congressman Jim Costa (Fresno-D) released the following statement after H.R. 5781, the California Emergency Drought Relief Act of 2014,  of which he is an original cosponsor, was introduced today.  

“This bipartisan legislation offers a common-sense solution to a long-term problem. The Valley has suffered far too long because of our broken water system. This bill will allow us to take advantage of increased flows through the delta and provide much-needed water to our Valley’s families and farms. California’s water needs must be addressed, and this legislation provides us with one more tool to bring relief to the San Joaquin Valley.”
