Washington—Congressman John Garamendi and Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris (all D-Calif.) today applauded the Air Force’s decision to base the new KC-46A Pegasus refueling tanker at Travis Air Force Base in Solano County:
“The Air Force’s decision to bring 24 new KC-46A Pegasus refueling tankers to Travis Air Force Base is welcome news. As the Gateway to the Pacific, Travis already has a long history of providing refueling missions to support operations around the globe.
WASHINGTON, DC-Today, Congressman John Garamendi (D-Fairfield, Davis, Yuba City), who represents Travis Air Force Base in the House of Representatives, congratulated Travis and the communities of Solano County on being named a Preferred Site for basing the KC-46A tanker mission.
WASHINGTON, DC-Today, Congressman Garamendi thanked the Department of Labor for providing $4 million of additional recovery assistance to continue cleanup and recovery efforts in the wake of the 2015 fires that affected Northern California.
“This is an outrageous attempt by the Secretary of the Interior to direct a scientific outcome. It’s unconscionable. I would have expected this from the Trump Administration, not the Obama Administration. The $15 billion twin tunnels are a financially and environmentally disastrous boondoggle that will suck the Delta dry, ravage its ecosystem, and destroy local fisheries, agriculture, and recreation.

It would prevent the office from receiving anonymous tips, which will discourage whistleblowing. And it would harm transparency by barring the office from disclosing the results of their investigations to the public.”
