So they've gone from bribery to extortion. It's extortion, because those farmers NEED that water to farm. Water is not a luxury. It's not like being offered a ride on Air Force One, or a trip to the Bahamas, or a nice fat payoff. It's literally food on the table for starving farm workers.

Apparently there is no lowest depth to which the Democrats will sink.

Obozo’s great lakes Czar has a history with the alliance for the great lakes and they have some pretty extreme views. Remove all the dams, all signs of human habitation within buffer zones, etc.

When are we going to see these crooks “frog-marched” to jail?

No sooner than you're to see them the way they ought to be: decorating the lampposts on the National Mall.

In other words: never.

America -- a great idea, didn't last.

Cameron Davis is the former Chicago environmentalist Obama appointed as great lakes czar. Now I see he’s also the senior advisor to the EPA.

Given the fact that he’s now the senior advisor to the EPA, I guess we could call him the earth czar or gaia czar. In fact, I don’t doubt his fingerprints are all over the water issue in California.

If CA had any rational people remaining they'd revolt over the Fed Gov’t withholding water in order to influence votes. Pure criminal.

In a just world, he would be someone’s prison girlfriend for the rest of his skeevy life.

“Being blackmailed with one’s own water. I loathe this criminal Administration.”

I do not understand how this situation can be tolerated. With the mere proposal of water being turned on with a correct vote...how can this not be taken to court? The courts should turn the water back on.
This is like warfare when a country would have food and water blockaded until they surrendered.
