He was much less destructive when he was snorting rails off of Linda Rondstadt’s chest.
I wonder if it’s any coincidence that many farmers in the designated area are Republicans?
I thought Ethanol was the devil, now I find it is America is an Oligarchy.
It is true. Once I realize it I can sleep better.
Just the rules, I play better when I know the rules.
How curious...not.
Farmers denied water to “save” a non-indigenous minnow, fields lie fallow...farmers going bankrupt and now...
eminent domain to come in and take the farms for pennies on the dollar.
Who didn’t see this coming?
The Southland is a desert and it was poor planning to have such a huge population there to begin with. He is willing to devastate NorCal and farmland to send water to the rich Hollywood types and all the illegals.(full disclosure, I’m from NorCal).
.... Why not build massive underground cisterns to collect water and prevent evaporation in the more arid regions during the wetter seasons and storms instead of mooching off of other areas?
I thought they needed all those illegals to pick lettuce?
There probabl are farmers quietly planning to blow up those tunnels. “Eminent domain” means stealing the property of rightful owners by the government. It should not be allowed.
300 family farms are just a start. The Bay Delta Conservation Plan spells this out in their maps that include seizing 175,000 acres of farmland and dispossessing over 40,000 people of their homes, property, and heritage!
See for yourself by looking at the maps here:

You want to lease my land at a fair price, I will listen to the offers. You want to take my land for nothing, we have a problem Houston.
With all the supermarkets around, what the hell do we need farms for?
Meanwhile, in private industry...
The state of California should be promoting desalination plants, not attempting to thwart them.
..... Isn't that the same Northern and Central California that is on fire and in extreme drought right now? Those tunnels only solve an evaporation issue but not the water supply issue. There needs to be local and county solutions to the water supply problem such as collection and storage of water when it arrives and not just bringing it from other areas.
The bureaucracy will takes ten times more land that it needs, then what resources aren’t devoured by the corruption will be dissipated by the incompetence. California will find a way to spend a million dollars gallon for any resulting output.
Good. I hope they starve sitting next to their pools.
That’s a great idea, but so is clearing all of the beachfront properties for nuclear-powered desalinization plants.
Look for Feinstein, her husband Blom and Ron Tutor of Tudor/Perini Corporation in the mix, “planning”
tunnels are underground, aren’t they? so the only land needed is at their heads and tails. so why does california need to steal that much land?
Stop stealing our water! This water is needed to scour out
the san Francisco Bay: you realize this bay has a silt build-up, it is only 3 feet deep in many places. Also, this water is needed for northern California farms. Brown senior first stole our water to overbuild southern California.
The solution to government created problems is... more government?
