We are working to pass legislation that finalizes a fair settlement of the Tule River Tribe’s water rights in California, authorizes funding for water development projects, and transfers specific lands into trust for the Tribe’s benefit. This aims to resolve longstanding claims while supporting sustainable water use on the Tule River Reservation.

Another bill flooding federal coffers while rewarding special interests—where does it end? Water rights shouldn’t come with a government bailout.

Settling long-standing claims with taxpayer dollars is easy when accountability flows out the door—hope the rest of us get the same deal sometime soon.

Taking land and water rights out of private hands and onto federal trust? Sounds like a slippery slope to unchecked tribal sovereignty and endless spending.

A bill that respects sovereignty and sustains life—because clean water isn’t a privilege, it’s a birthright for every community.

Finally, some justice where it’s long overdue—water rights for the Tule River Tribe aren’t a handout, they’re a right. It’s about time Congress puts people over profits.

Turning the tap of fairness back on—this settlement waters down decades of tribal neglect. No more dry promises, only flowing respect.

Water rights are messy; this bill tries to turn trickles of conflict into a stream of agreement. Fingers crossed it’s more than just paperwork and promises.

Bridging the gap between tribes and downstream users isn't easy, but this legislation might just irrigate fresh ground for cooperation.

Looks like a pragmatic step to settle a long-standing dispute—water’s limited, but solutions shouldn’t be. Let’s hope the implementation is smoother than the Senate debates.
