Washingtonwatch.com tracks the bills in Congress, along with estimates about their costs or savings, when available. They also provide earmark data like the request for Cambria CSD by Lois Capps for $2,000,000 for desalination. Visit the site and make your comments there or here.
This earmark request can be attributed (at least in part) to the work of our lobbyist federal advocate. Our community has spent a small fortune on this part of the project. How much? Thanks to OpenSecrets.org, it’s easy to find out. OpenSecrets.org is a federal watchdog site that provides information on lobbying expenditures, searchable by client, lobbying firm, individual lobbyist, industry, issue, agency or bill.

This Desalination Plant will never be built, again. Remember a decade ago when CCSD had the Building Permit? The entire process is a huge waste of tax payer money, again. When will we ever learn?
Don’t you already have an advocate in washington d.c. called a Senator and Member of Congress?
