The good news is that people are onto the technique and are fighting back at the public meetings, refusing to be separated into smaller groups, refusing to be screened beforehand by "registering" to attend, etc.

It’s also being used with the improperly named ‘Bay Delta Conservation Plan’ (BDCP) whose sole purpose is to send more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to Los Angeles and Westlands Water District in Fresno.
My friends who are fighting this say it is like swimming in molasses to make a point at one of these meetings.
And the BDCP proposes deliberately inundating up to 175,000 acres of delta farmland, dispossessing approximately 40,000 people, allowing salt water intrusion as far up the Sacramento River as Freeport, usurping the seniority water rights of communities in the region so their water can be exported to Los Angeles even in times of drought - meaning that people who live on the American River will have to ration their water so people in LA don’t have to.
It’s a part of why my family left California.
