GOV JERRY BROWN: CALIFORNIANS TO BE HEAVILY FINED FOR LONG SHOWERS
Breitbart ^ | April 5, 2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/05/2015 3:36:45 PM PDT by MeshugeMikey

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) said Californians will face heavy fines for taking long showers.

Brown said, “This executive order is done under emergency power. It has the force of law. Very unusual. It’s requiring action and changes in behavior from the Oregon border all the way to the Mexican border. It affects lawns. It affects people’s — how long they stay in the shower. How businesses use water.”

Brown said to enforce his order, “Each water district that actually delivers waters — water to homes and businesses, they carry it out. We have a state water board that overseas the relationships with the districts. Hundreds of them. If they don’t comply, people can be fined $500 a day. Districts can go to court to get a cease and desist order. The enforcement mechanism is powerful. In a drought of this magnitude, you have to change that behavior and you have to change it substantially.”

no just the opposite....same underwear for a year....

a water saving measure of mammoth proportions

underwear sales will be closely watched...highly regulated..and the additional compliance fees......will be used to build additional train lines to nowhere

A bullet train could be his undoing. But I kinda think the drought will hit Cal where it hurts.

“Are there going to be bureaucrats standing in every one’s bathroom timing their shower?”

They could make it interesting by hiring playboy playmates as bureaucrats.

Yes, and you are on here, so you are hereby granted a Moonbeam Minority Exemption! But don’t Rhinos and Rats use alternate methods?

The superior beings, dutifully elected by morons, have brought us to this wonderful state of affairs. What wonderful misadventures can we look forward to as those same morons continue to vote us deeper into the abyss.

My shower is automated in this respect. When the water starts losing heat I get out.

not too many years ago, every home in California had its own well. The state is basically at sea level so the water table has to be fairly shallow....sand points and other quick drilling tools should still be available somewhere.

pound down a point and see what happens...maybe nothing, maybe free water...
