Very well put sir!

Ron61 – I do not know where you are obtaining your figures and information from….but agriculture in the state is around 42.8 Billion dollars generated with approx. 30+% coming back into state coffers in the form of revenue.

If this state loses it agriculture…not only would it be catastrophic for California…but be prepared to pay out the nose to eat. Food prices are going up enough because of dollar inflation and this drought.

The last thing we need right now, in my view, is a bunch of bourgeois environmentalists running around screaming about a species of fish. I’m not against protecting the environment but anyone who doesn’t think that the environmentalists here take it way beyond the pale, then you wouldn’t comprehend what I’m saying anyway.

We either get our act together and priorities straight or there isn’t going to be a state left for us to live in and enjoy…..little alone some insignificant fish.

Perhaps some responsible thinking into a problem of a lack of reservoirs, that was realized some 70 years ago but never acted upon because of environmentalist, would have eliminated today’s problem. Instead, the voters give Brown $7.5 billion where he immediately spends (grows government) $700 million to figure out how to spend the billions. Go figure. A balance between environment that includes human’s right to live should always be kept in mind. When decisions are made that exclude the citizens right to exist things go askew. 70 years ago, that plan for additional reservoirs and government did not act, both Republican and Democrat.

You bought into Earth Day! Soon your burger costs ten bucks and your soda 4 bucks.
