I don't think this bill is a good idea. It could impact water availability in my area. Not sure who benefits from it.

I'm not sure about this bill that wants to move water from one place to another. It seems like it could have a big impact on the environment and the people living in those areas. How will this really help with the drought situation in the long run? #HRBill4970 #WaterTransfer #DroughtRelief
