Pelosi on the case

My Congresscritter Nancy Pelosi's office emails press releases. Ninety-nine percent of them straight go to trash unread. But here's a a recent one I happened to open that made my heart glad:

Today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the San Francisco Waterfront project will receive $5 million in new Army Corps funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to complete the ongoing Corps study investigating how to strengthen Embarcadero Seawall to withstand earthquakes and rising sea levels. 

This city needs this. As the Bay rises due to our warming climate, whole sections of downtown will be underwater unless ameliorating measures are taken. Already, supper high tides overflow Embarcadero walkways.

The Congresswomen is such a national figure, it's easy to forget she also brings home the bacon for constituents. But she does. This needs attention and she provides it.

Wonder whether she's also on top of the danger of rising waters to the Bay Bridge toll plaza? That sure looks like risky terrain to this observer.
