Craig Cox: Permanent drought? Only if you let Brown control our water
This is a warning for the people of California. Water is power! Drought is worth unlimited dollars and further unlimited hardships to the people of California! Abundant water benefits the people of this state. Do you really believe the price of water will ever come down when we again have an over supply?
In 2015 I heard a public news statement that “no amount of rain would ever relieve the drought situation in California.” Gov. Jerry Brown will make sure that drought is forever! Jerry will sell your water to anyone for a handful of magic beans!
Enter 2016, it rained. California has more water than it can store! Bringing us to this headline, “Drought is not over and never will be”! The selling of public water has contributed to yesterday’s drought and the drought before that!
Sending Northern California’s water to southern California must stop! Proper storage and management is the only thing that will stop the water blood suckers from draining the lifeblood (water) from California. Keeping Jerry Brown around as governor is solely at the taxpayers’ peril. Mr. Tax-and-Spend has no idea of what is best for California, only what he is told by big money!
