Sdgla,
After decades of drought you would think they would have found a solution for accumulating all that water instead of pissing $$$’s away on illegal immigrants.
Can't build more reservoirs. The environmentalists and the bureaucrats will not let that happen.

Take a look at this:

Plans for new dams, reservoirs in California hit big hurdle

By a 65-35 margin, voters overwhelmingly voted in favor of new dams and new reservoirs, but the projects are on hold because the state determined that the proposals don't bring enough "public benefits."

And get this. Their definition of "public benefits" doesn't include how much water a reservoir can hold, but rather "how much it improves recreation, like boating or hiking, flood control and environmental conditions, such as helping endangered salmon populations come back by providing cold water to streams during dry periods."

Guess who's applauding this obstructionism. That's right, the environmentalists, like the Sierra Club.

I state the obvious: The California state government has a vested interest in continuing the water shortages that plagued the state over the past five years. Just like they have a vested interest in continuing illegal immigration, suppressing free speech, and keeping the gap between rich and poor wide.

And those are truths that even Wharfie can't deny.
