What I see is massive Government malfeasance at all levels. Back in 2014 we, the voters of California, voted for a massive $7.13 Billion bond issue for water infrastructure improvements. It is increasingly apparent that NONE of that has been spent as intended. Oroville Dam is the tip of the iceberg — wait until the spring melt after this year’s record snow accumulation, when they’ll be releasing massive amounts of water to avoid overtopping more dams. Some of the dams will be facing the same problems as Oroville, and the levee system in the Sacramento Delta will probably fail again. Meanwhile, trillions of gallons of water are running down the rivers into the ocean, rather than being stored for use by CA farmers. And the money that was supposed to fix the situation is nowhere to be found — probably diverted into Moonbeam’s Train to Nowhere or into the hands of various cronies of powerful members of the Legislature. Our government is killing our state!

They need to start releasing a few cougars,bears and wolves into some urban areas or big cities so the ignorant flatlanders can get a look at real wildlife and not the hollywood kind

Isn’t this a form of federal welfare addiction for Ca.?

Superwing: A long time ago, I told somebody that Beethoven was my favorite composer. He said, “Wasn’t he a Nazi?” I said, “I don’t see how, he died long before Hitler was born.” He said, “Well, they liked his music.” I said, “That doesn’t make Beethoven a Nazi.” Don’t confuse causes with effects.

Ghettoman: I think you have hit the nail on the head regarding Brown and the Third World Order. More or less, at least. Now, if California secedes, which do you think is more likely to happen: it becomes an independent Libertarian republic; it becomes an independent Progressive republic; it becomes a satellite state of an evil megalomaniac’s dream of world conquest; it becomes part of Mexico again; or other.

Why is the idiot Brown insisting on a stupid train that benefits no one and costs more than a plane fare? This huge amount of money should be used to obtain more water holding capability in this state than wasting it on a boondoggle. I hope Trump stops the fed money for this idiotic program that is a vast waste of money and time. Our problem is not one of transportation but of a lack of water. Purely simple. This drought has been with us for years yet Brown has done nothing to alleviate it. The amount of water going out into the Pacific from these last storms has been estimated at up to 40% of the needed water for the state for this year. Hello? Why cant these idiots plan for the future and build more water holding reservoirs and expand the ones we have now (along with making them safe) and keep the water in our state for our needs? Obviously the Brown regime is not really interested in our water needs but just getting us stoned and giving our money to illegals. Welcome to the third world order.

It would be a step in the right direction if people could differentiate between a real problem and a political ideology.

The natural world exists independently from environmentalists and jack-booted Climate Change fanatics. While I have long (since I was about eleven, that would be 1962) been a conservative conservation-minded environmentalist (Teddy Roosevelt was my hero), I have ALWAYS opposed leftist methods for solving the problems of the world.

Because of this, I think it is too bad that the water problems mentioned in this article are not really being dealt with as they should. There really is a Middle Way where everyone would have a portion of the water that is available, and nobody would suffer like they have been. The real winner would be the natural world, which we destroy at our peril.
