California Republicans contend that one portion of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s last-minute infrastructure package will result in more eagles getting killed by wind turbines.
Last Monday, Newsom signed Senate Bill 147, a measure that will allow the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to issue permits for clean energy and other large projects that could result in the deaths of animals on the state’s fully protected species list.
Sen. Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, on July 5 ripped her colleagues over SB 147 during a floor debate.
