Democrats: Don’t throw tantrums

Regarding the Democrats’ “sit-in” last week in the House of Representatives: It is unfortunate that Rep. Jim Costa and his fellow Democrats don’t show the same determination toward a water bill for California.

It is time they act like adults and not like 2-year-olds, throwing a temper tantrum when they don’t get their way.
