You have not explained at all how rAyGuN stopped that desalination plant from being approved in southern California, for example. Some decades ago, Santa Barbara just about ran out of water when Cachuma Lake almost dried up. They went out and bought a desalinization plant, but before it was activated, the rains came and it was never used. If memory serves, they sold the plant to some Middle East government. Hard telling how they got the permits to do all of that. And as you mentioned to Ratty, the Dems own California, lock, stock and barrel, and have for some time. If CA voters don't like the high taxes, high prices, business strangling rules and regulations and a nanny government run amok, they've only themselves to blame. I had a good time back when I lived and worked in SoCal, but the state has sadly gone to shit and you couldn't pay me enough to move back there now.. :-(

I would call Raygun, Jarvis, Gann and Prop 13 unindicted co-conspirators, cuz they were the ones who conditioned voters to vote against all money issues, but the voters were the ones who actually had to approve the water programs, so it's on us. Have you ever voted in favor of a water measure? == "You have not explained at all how rAyGuN stopped that desalination plant from being approved in southern California, for example." Well, let's see.... step 1 California Coastal Commission rejects desalination plant The Coastal Commission staff had advised the commission to deny approval — citing, among other factors, the high cost of the water and lack of local demand for it, the risks to marine life and the possibility of flooding in the area as sea levels rise.May 12, 2022 calmatters.org. == step 2 The coastal Commission was started in '72; by then Gov Raygun? No; it was the voters again. I guess he's not really involved. west.stanford.edu
