Based on what I’ve read about Mulholland, those very farmers and cities, counties, etc. who are now being denied water from “California’s (actually LA’s) Vast Reserves” were fooled into signing over their watersheds to him Decades and Decades ago....
Irony? Probably being denied their own water.
No problem. Just get the illegals from Mexico to bring water when they come. Surely, if we give them free education, free healthcare, free welfare checks, free housing,and free clothing, the least they could do is give us a “little” free water in return.
>> would not send any water from the state’s vast reservoir system
Send or restrict?
On the other hand, I'm sure the federal government will find some extremely expensive way to provide water at the expense of the taxpayers.
There was a time in America when making bad decisions (like living in a huge city in a desert) had negative consequences.
James Earl Carter cancelled 33 western US water projects in the 70’s. It’s almost like dems want to ruin the country.
Perhaps if Gov. Brown, during his next press conference, were to read 1 Kings, Chapter 18 aloud and then declare:
“As Governor of this state I wish to lead our people in a public repentance of the worship of Mammon, of the sins of Sodom & Gomorrah and of offering our unborn children to Moloch. We humbly ask Almighty God to forgive our sins, to once again send the rains and to restore our souls, lands and crops.”
Hey, Jonah didn’t expect it from the king of Nineveh, either!
Jonah 3
Living Bible (TLB)
3 1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Jonah again: “Go to that great city, Nineveh,” he said, “and warn them of their doom, as I told you to before!”
3 So Jonah obeyed and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city with many villages around it—so large that it would take three days to walk through it.[a]
4-5 But the very first day when Jonah entered the city and began to preach, the people repented. Jonah shouted to the crowds that gathered around him, “Forty days from now Nineveh will be destroyed!” And they believed him and declared a fast; from the king on down, everyone put on sackcloth—the rough, coarse garments worn at times of mourning.[b]
6 For when the king of Nineveh heard what Jonah was saying, he stepped down from his throne, laid aside his royal robes, put on sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And the king and his nobles sent this message throughout the city: “Let no one, not even the animals, eat anything at all, nor even drink any water. 8 Everyone must wear sackcloth and cry mightily to God, and let everyone turn from his evil ways, from his violence and robbing. 9 Who can tell? Perhaps even yet God will decide to let us live and will hold back his fierce anger from destroying us.”
10 And when God saw that they had put a stop to their evil ways, he abandoned his plan to destroy them and didn’t carry it through.
The solution is simple:
Frack for gas
Tax the producers 25% of their gas.
Use the gas to power desalinization plants
Free water
The technology is proven and off the shelf in use in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Israel
And yet California keeps voting Dhimmicrat (well probably not the Central Valley )
In other words, "Fish First!"
Without illegal immigration there would be enough water.
It would be useful to examine the political leanings of the districts being denied water by a democrat governor.
Will they still get farm subsidies to ‘not grow” crops without water ?
BTTT!
