It’s coming.

They will be shooting back tuff guy.

Isn’t that what water treatment plants are for? or is the Cali govt. too leftist, too broke, to currupt to built more or upgrade em?

Back in 1994, Paul Bettencourt, the old face of Westlands Water District, got on Fresno TV to promote their solution to the problem of selenium tainted drainage water on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. Westlands’ solution was to feed it into the California Aqueduct, since selenium is a beneficial element to the millions drinking the water downstream in LA.

Because none of Westlands’ farms drain out to sea, the water is collected in big evaporation ponds, where the concentration of salts and metals is strong enough to kill vegetation and deform waterfowl. Plan B for Westlands’ waste disposal is to use taxpayer money to dig a canal from the west side of the Valley to the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta. Naturally, people in the Bay Area hate this, and the project has been stalled until eternity.

So…they want government money to ship in water, and they need government money to process their effluent.

Westlands is so predatory that they sued their neighboring water district a few years ago to steal the water from the Friant-Kern canal.

Long-term, most soils within Westlands will approach the end of their useful life within 10-20 years anyway, due to the effects of alkalai infiltration. The region will end up looking like the area around the Aral sea, a sun-blazed and dusty hellhole barren of vegetation.

And they will want a bailout.

“As I’ve mentioned, an income over $250k needs to earn a death sentence, I’ll shoot ‘em myself let’s get this set up and get it going.”

Your a friggin Moron. Most people I know who make just over $250,000 K are small business owners and Employ 12 – 100 people. Small biz create the most jobs. Your leftist logic punishes the little guys. Cali taxes the crap out of the small business and look where they are at right now. Business are fleeing the state in droves into other states (or outsourced to other countries) More unemployment (but the GOP states are doing better because they have more biz opening up)

Maryland had the idea to raise taxes on the millionaires (Tax the rich!) to cover their deficit. Result? there were 1/3 fewer millionaires because they fled the state and Maryland was deeper in the red. Lib economic policies just don’t work.

Then there’s the electricity problem. Once the water level goes down to a certain point electricity dams won’t be able to provide that much electricity. Picture blackouts. Some of them might last weeks instead of days.

Calis water infrastructure is DYING for private investment but as we all know Cali is dominated by leftists marxists and the Govt. Runs the water system. (which is does a crappy job at doing) Besides, no mayor or lawmaker wants to raise taxes to updated the water infrastructure, it won’t get him/her any votes. So they just let pass the problem to the next mayor, and the next, and the next one, etc… passing the problem to the future generation. Oh yea Cali has the one of the highest tax burdens in the Union and still they are in the red.Just look at a LA from space. Why won’t they just build an L.A. dam that STORES the water instead of just wasting it by letting it go into the Pacific?

Then there’s the welfare queen so called “farmers” who get subsidized. Why not charge em the market price for water? they would use the water more wisely. Or just reduce subsidies little by little?

The San Luis Reservoir, something I pass by on a regular basis, is at very low levels and has been for years at levels under what I remember in the ’80s.

Nice touch of sarcasm there.
