with bad result for the vast majority of Californians, including all major population areas and smaller farmers.
Republican Governors George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson were in charge from 1983-1999 when most of the
damage was done.
What did these Governors and their friends get for allowing almost everyone to get fucked?
Democrat Senators Boxer and Feinstein served from 1992-1993 on. Doubtful Boxer had understanding of
complex water issues - she couldn't even balance a checkbook.
DiFi was very smart though, and of course friends with other rich schmucks like Resnick.
I'd consider a solution not unlike eminent domain for the State taking back the water. Pay the schmucks a
profitable but well below market price for their holdings. (Lawyers can argue later.)
