I'm grateful George Miller is fighting for us. There will be no Hercules Ferry if there is no dredging. San Pablo Bay is very shallow for a long way out, fishmermen can actually wade out at least 50 feet at low tide. Dredging isn't optional, its a must. And preserving our natural wetlands to save the wonderful egrets and other water fowl who grace our shores also isn't optional, at least to me. On my walks I have encountered bird watchers on several occasions. There is a lot here to preserve. What is “pork” to some is jobs and needed local improvements to others.
