We need to amend the Endangered Species Act to take people into account. Ironically, the Delta Smelt population has been hurt by a non-native invasive species that is continually planted by the California Department of Fish and Game: the Largemouth Bass.
Not nice to refer to Nancy Pelosi that way.
If it comes down to a contest between Largemouth Bass and the Delta Smelt, I vote for Largemouth Bass! Really good eating there and fun to catch.
But seriously, something has to be done quick to help these farmers. Aside from putting them out of business and probably even out of their farms and homes, it’s also going to impact us all in higher citrus/food costs everywhere.
Thanks, Chuck. I sincerely hope you win and wish I could vote for you. Best of luck!
