I hope you're right. I along with the vast majority of Californians want the Democrats kill this bill. Its why we elected them to office.

Dumbasses should make a law against drought.

They can just build a canal from Michigan to California. Forget the rivers, dont let a drop reach the ocean. All that water is wasted.
Wait its raining. Spring is not over yet. Next year it could flood. Its been about 8 years since it has. Its on a ten year flood cycle. Plus or minus a year or so.

Republican lawmakers claim to want a smaller role of the federal government,and for more control to take place at the state and local level. And yet all too frequently, they stray from this central premise.

The Repos buy votes their way, the Demos buy votes their way.

If we like the bait of one party or the other then we believe that party has the moral high ground and the other party are a bunch of psychopathic opportunists.

Most of the water in California is used for agriculture, I think about 85% is the figure I read, and most of THAT is for corporate agribusiness.

It's been raining and snowing here today, but there has been practically no rain here for a long time.

The snowmelt in Nor Cal has been insignificant this season in this state.

Due to political clout, most of the water goes to Southern California via the peripheral canal.

For Northern California, rationing of water this year is on the near horizon. The upcoming restrictions will penalize those that conserved water in the past, and likely will result in higher water rates for ALL residential consumers.

Spirit In The Sky Norman Greenbaum - YouTube



When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best.

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best.

Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Oh
Set me up to the Spirit in the Sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Goin' on up to the Spirit in the Sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best.

Please don't give the mayor of Chicago anymore ideas on how to get out of the mess all of those crook Dems have themselves in now. Or for that matter I hope one of B'O's fundraisers isn't in the rain barrel business, and get a hand out like Solyndra.

Twenty years ago or more there was a terrible drought in California. I remember every hotel had signs up saying not to waste water. Conservative was everywhere.

And this lasted for seven years. A lot of plans were made for water in the future, but just as they were getting going they seemed to die out.

And then the Governator took over and everything was wonderful.

The End.

"In this land of drought and sun, we do not flush for number one."

At least we have green golf courses. Those are drought restriction exempt along with agriculture.
Do you think they are letting it "mellow yellow" at the golf courses. I can just imagine gov. Brown or Sen. Feinstein doing that. Yea right.

Just for fun, check out this link:

The image comparison is nifty.

While I do think conservation is a good idea, I'm not big on some of the methods. As one poster mentioned earlier, the new programs often have the effect of penalizing those who have been conserving all along. They look for a percentage reduction, and don't take into account prior usage. So if someone was using twice as much water as a normal 3 bedroom 2 bath home before, but cut their usage by 25%, they'd be considered good. But if someone was already using only 80% as much as normal, but was only able to trim another 5%, they're not as good. Even though one house is still using 150% of the norm, as opposed to 75%.
