Neal Wilhite: It’s not about fish, it’s about sending our rivers south

Will Gov. Jerry Brown and other leaders get a kickback from Los Angeles water district for building the Delta tunnels? Those tunnels will drain the Sacramento River to the point nothing will go into the Delta; all of that water will go to Los Angeles. Why can’t we get Los Angeles to build desalination plants like San Diego did?

Los Angeles takes most of the Colorado River and now they want all of ours too. What will it take to change there minds in Los Angeles? This thing about the fish is very fishy, it is a diversion from the truth.

Neal Wilhite, Turlock
