I want to thank the now-former climate and conservation manager at the State Water Resources Control Board who last month quit his job, then widely distributed an email telling many of his co-workers what he truly thinks of them.
He gave us the clearest proof yet that the water board is exactly what I and many others have accused it of being — loaded with activist staff who routinely undermine their own board members by presenting selective, misleading, or just inaccurate information and calling it fact.
In the process of quitting, this ideological zealot outed his efforts to work as a taxpayer-funded environmental lobbyist, pushing an agenda intent on destroying most of the San Joaquin Valley’s agricultural economy.
He is outraged that the board has failed to “quickly and permanently” reduce agricultural production. He called those working in food-processing jobs members of “a right-wing death cult.”
He still mourns the removal — some three years ago — of Felicia Marcus as chair of the board, never mind the fact that Marcus thumbed her nose at two governors by ignoring their joint request for her to consider a voluntary agreement negotiated by high-ranking administration officials on the Tuolumne River. This ex-staffer signs off his letter by disgustedly chiding some of his former co-workers for failing to derail the governor’s support for voluntary agreements on our rivers, saying his colleagues have “rolled over.”
A couple of years ago, this same angry staffer tweeted that my friend Melissa Hurtado, a state senator from Sanger, was a member of the “agricultural mafia” because she dared stand up for farmers and farmworkers. I wonder what he thinks of Sen. Hurtado’s bill that would have dissolved the water board outright?

I have a paperback book somewhere called “The Late, Great State of California.”
The amount of production stated in that book is eye-opening.
You could damn near feed the world out of that valley but the 2021 project people would have a fit.
Central Valley farmers being water boarded.
The goal is to bankrupt CA farmers, tben buy their property for cents on the dollar, hire slave labor.
Suddenly there will be water in abundance.
people or almonds
take your pick
Many years ago I lived near Fresno in Madera County helping to maintain what the owner called a ‘redneck country club’. He told me (I don’t know if it was true or not) that the San Joaquin Valley had some of the deepest topsoil in the world. It was one reason why, if irrigated, crop yields per acre were so high. Take the irrigation water away and it reverts to semi-desert. But at least we still have snail darter.
To your typical liberal, there’s a disconnect between farms, which are big business and therefore bad, and produce, which comes from the store. It’s the same with electricity. Electricity comes out of the wall. But power plants are bad for environment. It’s as if they don’t realize that the power in the wall comes from the power plant. Same with water. It comes out of the hose, but building dams is bad because...environment...or something. Possibly tiny delta fish...or something. Anyway...everything needed for civilized life is bad. But Starbucks coffee and electric cars good. They are sooo back to nature. Minus the cold, the wet and sleeping outdoors.
If all that sounds crazy...well...California.
Whiskey is for drinking, water is for FIGHTING!
The board members know for a fact that food comes from the grocery stores. Plus they have sworn not to buy Israeli technology to desalinat sea water. (But Israeli technology cell phones are OK)
The Big Valley is the agricultural center of the universe.
But the rivers that made it so are dying or dead.
We have far, far too much land under tillage.
Those acres must be reduced to sustainable levels.
People in California don’t need food. They just swallow all the bullshit the politicians out there feed them. That’s why they keep electing the some kind of bullshit artist as GAvin Nobrain every election.
California’s Communist leadership has been operating out of
an alternate universe for decades now.
The one thing you can say about the state, is that it is
so robust, even dedicated Communists of this level, can’t
destroy it no matter how hard they try.
The GDP remains orbital. The state’s finances aren’t
totally cratering.
By rights everyone should be on the streets, as ominous
as this state leadership’s draconian legislation is.
Yeah, and they’re first in line to eat the food they produce too.
Worthless, self serving jackasses.
The Evil Greens run the show could care less about humans
What you stated is also why North America, as a whole, hasn’t cratered. Yet.
It won’t until the Socialist Democrats run out of ‘other people’s money,’ and Mother Government has shown to be MORE than willing to keep those green-inked printing presses running 24/7/365.
Hundreds of Trillions in debt and unfunded ‘promises’ to We The People? No worries!
*SPIT*
“called those working in food-processing jobs members of “a right-wing death cult.”
I guess those “right wing” cultists are taking jobs from illegal aliens.
They hate this nation so much, they are spending it into
the great abyss.
When they accomplish that, the whole planet will have
serious problems, and we’ll never be the nation we were.
That isn’t good either, despite what some folks think.
He called those working in food-processing jobs members of “a right-wing death cult.”
So he is opposed to food. Wow. Bon appetite.
