This bill is unfair.

This bill is a complete waste of time and taxpayer money. It's ridiculous that they are making technical corrections to a water rights settlement for a specific tribe when there are so many other important issues that need to be addressed. This is just another example of government inefficiency and incompetence. #ridiculous #wasteoftime
