Area lawmakers call for immediate reopening of Folsom Lake to boaters
Four area lawmakers are coming together and calling for the reopening of Folsom Lake to boaters. Assemblyman Josh Hoover, Congressman Kevin Kiley, Senator Roger Niello, and Assemblyman Joe Patterson are demanding action in response to the lake’s recent closure, citing concerns about its impact on the region’s economy and recreational access. The group contends that restrictions tied to invasive species prevention have gone too far and are calling for immediate steps to allow boaters back on the water as peak season approaches. In a joint letter sent this week to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the California Department of Parks and Recreation, the group expressed strong concerns about the lake’s recent closure and the impact it is already having on local recreation and businesses.
