it was a dream that started out at $10B and flowery promises to taxpayers: if they would just dig a little deeper, take a little less home in their paychecks, there would be daisies and unicorns.
In the meantime, thousands of companies profited while water was taken to pressure and harass people off their land.
Give the land back. And compensate the farmers. It’s the least the state can do. Oh, and let the audits commence.
what took so long?
I’d gather 1/2 of the FReepers here...don’t know who Milton Friedman is...........

Green new deal cost’s too much green I guess.
Sorry they’re all the same. Hard to tell them apart.
Ha! No...but for the $100+K they pay for that job I might sell-out!! ;-) I just have more info on the HSR debacle than most people...was part of the local Tea Party group in Fresno that opposed the project at the start years ago...I still remember stuffing envelopes to mail out to warn property owners about eminent domain on their properties. Required a lot of study of HSR plans. The $3 billion from the Feds came with strings/build-out requirements that if not met required the return of the money. So Gavin needs to finish the 1st segment or face legal issues with the Feds. Hundreds of acres of ag land lost and billions wasted...tragic but typical for CA lefties.
Well dummies. Just quit buying so many balloons!
