“Tribal and environmental groups, who saw him as an ally in their efforts to move Southern California away from relying on imported water from sensitive Northern California ecosystems”
One way to accomplish this goal is desalinization. I’m sure they must be 100 percent behind that effort....

Lol same thing for Albuquerque. Saved so much water that the water system couldn’t service the bonds. Lol it’s not rocket science.
Wonder what breed of cat this is.
All we can do is see who is complaining. The right people are complaining so all is good.
Gotta be a fall guy...probably not the official perp.
His butt kissing of treehuggers and Faux Injuns might still have worked out if he had been OK with the idea of purifying sea water. Like rejecting nuclear power, saying no to using sea water exposes you as an ideologue — not someone at all interested in problem solving. A politico, not a public servant. Bought, instead of hired.
“It’s California Jake”
“Muslim Adel Hagekhalil”
Gee what could go wrong? 🤷
Another problem California created is refusing to conduct controlled prescription burns.
Florida is the #1 lightning strike state in the country, Florida does controlled burns and I can’t remember the last time there was a wildfire in the state.
It ain’t rocket surgery.....California unfortunately worships at the alter of woke green ideology.
He’s on the wrong side........ that’s for sure.
“One way to accomplish this goal is desalinization.”
indeed ... but the eco-nazi-whackjobs whine that would make the ocean salty and thereby managed to halt all future desal efforts in kalifornia ...
“All we can do is see who is complaining. The right people are complaining so all is good.”
exactly ... if one knows nothing at all about the pros and cons of some change, it’s quite legitimate to gauge the merits of said change based on the metric of who complains about it ...
ANy wonder California is a mess?
Adel Hagekhalil -- General Manager -- Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, 2023
Total pay and benefits: $ 663,866.00
Good. Now fire the head of the Dept. of Water and Power in Los Angeles - makes over $700k/year, barely speaks English - and allowed the Pacific Palisades reservoir to go dry so the fire hydrants were dry when the fire was raging.
Only the first “head to roll.”
I’m sure others will follow.
“... declining revenue from increased water savings.”...
This is the Catch-22 scam that utility districts inflict on the public. Citizens are asked to conserve water during droughts and shortages, even promising financial penalties for “excess use.”. When the public dutifully does reduce use to conserve,, the revenue goes down from fewer sales, so they raise rates to preserve the bottom line. Those rates are never reduced when water supplies return to plenty. It’s a vicious circle, crafted so that the utility district always profits.
