Government needs to QUIT sucking water out of the California Delta to export it to Southern California. It is ruining the water quality of the Delta and completely changing it for the worse. Like most journalists know, it's a case of following Big Money interests like Stuart Resnick, Kern County land owner and resident of Beverly Hills, who sold just some of his water rights for $77 million a year! Delta farmers and residents are excluded for the most part from even having proper representation of the water in their back yard; this is totally wrong. Los Angeles, San Diego and Southern California need to focus on getting water out of the ocean, versus the Sacramento River. The folly of bulding a Panama size canal, above ground or undergrounding it, will become the greatest joke of the land, and financial disaster. California is already so broke that they may never recover to being a leader again, yet the state leaders are wasting thousands of hours on this new Water War on a canal that was already voted down by the people many years ago. Very sad to see politics working this way when there are much greater priorities and problems to solve.
