The Guv wants a $22 billion water bond, filled with pork, that does not guarantee a drop of water. As I have mentioned before, even if passed it will be decades before anything significant can be done with the money.
"One lawsuit asks a federal judge in Sacramento to require the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to respond to the groups' March 2006 request to change the delta smelt's status from "threatened" to "endangered." That action would somewhat tighten federal standards for development or water-use permits.
A second suit, filed in San Francisco, challenges the federal agency's decision in April to deny protected status to the bay-delta population of the longfin smelt. The agency said the local population is not a distinct group entitled to protection because some of the fish migrate up the coast to breed with other longfin, a conclusion the environmental groups called a reversal of the government's longtime position.
"Formerly abundant fish at the base of the food chain in the San Francisco estuary are being driven to near extinction," said Jeff Miller of the Center for Biological Diversity, which filed the suits along with the Bay Institute."
This will continue the California Depression--more farms will close, consumer costs will rise, imported food stuff will harm our balance of payments, and less water will be available.
Who is supporting these types of organizations and lawsuits? We need to know who wants to kill our farmers, families and businesses. Don't you want to know who is giving these killers money?
