So what was that fisheries guy trying to say about the farmers selling their water to other areas?

I do not know all the details on this one. I do know that the farmers have some water rights to the water coming down from the mountains...but those rights are divided up several ways. I am nit sure if it is as clear cut as the farmers in Klamath.

But for the rights they do have, they must stand. The minnow does not have legal rights to it. only judicial decisions based on...in all likelihood and if experience and history serves as any precedent...junk science.

That needs some research. So the fishermen are having problems! I wish he would have had the chance to explain from that point of view what that has to do with the farmers not having water.
I wish, too, that Hannity would have pressed him about the water sale to SOCAL.
